Abstract

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are regarded as adaptive immune response of the host to cancer cells and valuable prognostic factors. Here, we sought to characterize the densities and locations of CD3+ and CD8+ TILs in primary oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) samples and assess their clinicopathological and prognostic significance. A total number of 169 OSCC samples from 2 independent patient cohorts (Nanjing cohort, 93 cases; Wuxi cohort, 76 cases) were retrospectively collected. The numbers of CD3+ and CD8+ TILs at tumor center (CT) and invasive margin (IM) of OSCC were identified by immunohistochemistry and calculated. The optimal cutoff values for CD3+ and CD8+ TILs to stratify patients were determined by X-tile software in Nanjing cohort and further utilized in Wuxi cohort. The associations between CD3+ /CD8+ TILs and clinicopathological parameters or patient survival were assessed. The prognostic values of CD3+ / CD8+ TILs were evaluated by Cox regression analyses. CD3+ and CD8+ TILs were identified at both CT and IM and enriched at IM. High density of CD3+ TILs at IM (CD3 IM) was significantly associated with increased overall and disease-specific survival (P < .05). High density of CD8+ TILs at CT (CD8 CT) was ...Continue Reading
