  • * A study of 52 confirmed SFT cases used immunohistochemical analysis of various markers to investigate their correlation with patient outcomes and existing risk stratification systems.
  • * Results indicated that immune cell presence didn't significantly impact prognosis, but one case with high immune infiltrate showed progression; certain immune markers revealed associations with tumor characteristics and behaviors, suggesting complex interactions in the tumor microenvironment.
