Overview

Assessment evaluates interobserver variability for TILs in triple-negative breast cancer, highlighting contributing histological factors.

Key Points

  • Moderate interobserver agreement was found for stromal TILs, and strong for intratumoral TILs, emphasizing variability challenges.
  • Quantification of agreement used the intraclass correlation coefficient with ICC values of 0.58 for stromal TILs and 0.71 for intratumoral TILs.
  • Two consultant pathologists assessed 64 TNBC cases using TIL-WG guidelines to evaluate agreement and identify confounding factors.
  • Findings call for standardized TIL scoring protocols, as variability was linked to factors like distribution and tumor-stroma interface.
