Pre-treatment biopsies from 80 oropharyngeal, 52 hypopharyngeal, and 29 laryngeal cancer patients were collected in a tissue microarray (TMA) and immunohistochemically stained for T-cell markers CD3, CD4, CD8, FoxP3, and PD1, and for immune checkpoint PD-L1. This evidence concerns the gene FOXP3 and laryngeal carcinoma.
