Tumours with a non-inflammatory T-cell microenvironment have few or no effector T cells, but contain chronic inflammation with tumour-associated macrophages, MDSCs, CD4 + FoxP3 + regulatory T cells, and Th2 cytokines, which form an immunosuppressed microenvironment that allows tumour progression, which is associated with a poorer prognosis. Here, FOXP3 is linked to neoplasm.
