In this study we evaluated the intratumoral density of immunohistochemically stained CD8, CD20 and CD68 cells in 87 cases of CRC (48 were microsatellite stable, MSS, and 39 had microsatellite instability, MSI) in both the intratumoral tumor tissue and within the tumor-stroma interface zone (IZ) which was extracted by a previously developed unbiased hexagonal grid analytics method. This evidence concerns the gene CD68 and colorectal carcinoma.
