There was no significant association between GR immunoreactivity and the infiltration level of TILs, CD3- or CD8-positive T cells (p = 0.600, p = 0.796 and p = 0.938 in all cases; p = 0.843, p = 0.907 and p = 0.557 in cases with adenocarcinoma; p = 0.511, p = 0.321 and p = 0.896 in cases with squamous cell carcinoma, respectively). This evidence concerns the gene CD8A and adenocarcinoma.
