In another study, high density of FoxP3+ stromal TILs was found to be an independent favorable prognostic factor, but no prognostic impact was demonstrated for CD3+, CD8+ or CD20+ TILs, in chemoradiotherapy-naïve tumors from 52 patients with radically resected, distant metastasis free, gastric cancer of the cardia [13]. Here, CD8A is linked to gastric cardia carcinoma.
