Our DL-based tool can accurately analyse and quantify immune cells on IHC-stained slides of HCC. The microscopical classification of the TIME can stratify HCCs according to the patient prognosis. Needle biopsies can provide valuable insights for TIME-related prognostic prediction, albeit with specific constraints. The computational pathology tool provides a new way to study the HCC TIME.
