Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Primary and Recurren…

Comparative tumor microenvironment analysis

Tumor microenvironment analysis

• Tumor microenvironment in silico cytometry

Higher fractions in Recurrent tumors Lower fractions in Recurrent tumors

Conclusions:

§ Tumor microenvironment composition is significantly different between primary and recurrent aGCTs • Recurrent tumors have increased myeloid fraction and reduced prevalence of stromal cells what can promote tumor progression § Expression of genes involved in ovarian hormone signaling was identified as significantly altered in recurrences • Changes in hormonal signaling pathways may underpin aGCT recurrence
