Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, breast cancer subtypes and therapeutic efficacy
By analyzing over 2000 samples from a randomized clinical trial, we have recently associated high levels of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with an excellent prognosis among triple negative breast cancer patients as well with improved clinical responses to immunogenic chemotherapy among patients bearing HER2 over-expression. These findings suggest that immunomodulation could represent a new appr...
متن کاملTumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in breast cancer
We have prospectively validated in an independent clinical cohort the finding that elevated amounts of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in breast carcinoma tissues predict the response of patients to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. These results suggest that a robust tumor infiltration by T and B cells is a promising biomarker to define patients who might benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
متن کاملCharacterization and quantification of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in breast cancer
Results A positive correlation between CD3 and CD8 expression (rs=0.614, n=24, P 0.001) and CD3 and CD45RO expression (rs=0.621, n=24, P 0.001) were noted in the center of the tumor (CT).CD3 median percentage in CT was higher in grade 2 and grade 3 breast carcinoma compared to grade 1 (P 0.023). CD3 in the center of the tumor and CD8 in the invasive margins (IM) were significantly higher in ER/...
متن کاملRelevance of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in breast cancer
While breast cancer has not been considered a cancer amenable to immunotherapeutic approaches, recent studies have demonstrated evidence of significant immune cell infiltration via tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in a subset of patient tumors. In this review we present the current evidence highlighting the clinical relevance and utility of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in breast cancer. Retrosp...
متن کاملTumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes: A Promising Biomarker in Breast Cancer.
There is clear evidence that the immune system plays an essential role in tumor defense. By determining tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), the individual immunological response becomes more apparent and measurable. In breast cancer, high levels of TILs are associated with a more favorable clinical course. In this review, we describe how TILs are determined with emphasis on daily routine dia...
