CD14 and neoplasm: In order to investigate the potential association between the amount of the inflammatory infiltrate by flow cytometry and other features of the disease, patients were divided into cases with low (<23%) and high (≥23%) percentage of the most represented inflammatory cells (CD14+ HLA-DR+ CD45+ TiMa) in the tumor infiltrates, based on ROC curve analysis – area under the curve (AUC) of 90% (p<0.001) for the selected cutoff (23% of TiMa) -.
