BACKGROUND: In this study, we evaluated the prognostic value of Immunoscore in patients with stage I−III colon cancer (CC) in the Asian population. These patients were originally included in an international study led by the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) on 2681 patients with AJCC/UICC-TNM stages I−III CC. METHODS: CD3+ and cytotoxic CD8+ T-lymphocyte densities were quantified in the tumor and invasive margin by digital pathology.

Analysis of immune status in gastric adenocarcinoma with different infiltrating patterns and origin sites.

Tumor infiltration pattern (INF) and tumor origin site were reported to significantly affect the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC), while the immune status under these contexts is not clear. In this study, we correlated the density and phenotype of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) with INF and the tumor origin site to reflect the biological behavior of tumors from a new perspective and also determined their effects on overall survival (OS) and other related clinicopathological features in archival samples of 147 gastric cancers with 10-year follow-up data. We found that the INFc growth pattern (an invasive growth without a distinct border) of GC lacked immune cell infiltration, particularly the cytotoxic T cells and their activated form.
