It should however be pointed out that previous studies have demonstrated concordant results regarding the prognostic value of high infiltration of B cells in colorectal cancer, as demonstrated both by the use of whole tissue sections [38] and by the use of TMA [21], and the herein presented results regarding the prognostic value of CD3+, CD8+ and FoxP3+ TILs in gastric cancer [10, 13]. This evidence concerns the gene FOXP3 and colorectal cancer.
