Popis: | Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and their subsets contribute to breast cancer prognosis. We investigated the prognostic impact of CD3+, CD8+ and FOXP3+ TILs in patients with early intermediate/high-risk breast cancer treated with adjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy within two randomized trials conducted by our Group. We examined 1011 patients (median follow-up 130.9 months) and their tumors for total, stromal (s) and intratumoral (i) CD3, CD8 and FOXP3 lymphocyte density (counts/mm2) on tissue-microarray cores by immunohistochemistry. Morphological sTIL density on whole H&E-stained sections was also evaluated. The majority of TILs were CD3+. Total CD3 and CD8, sCD3 and sCD8, iCD3 and iCD8, sFOXP3 and iFOXP3 were strongly correlated (Spearman’s rho values > 0.6). High individual lymphocytic subsets and sTIL density were strongly associated with high tumor grade, higher proliferation and HER2-positive and triple-negative tumors (all p values |
