High tumoural PD‐1 was associated with low CD3+ T‐cells in cancer cell nests (p < 0.001), a total CD3+ low in both cancer cell nest and stroma score (p = 0.021), low CD8+ T‐cells in cancer cell nests (p = 0.001), low stromal CD8+ T‐cells (p < 0.001), and a total CD8+ low in both cancer cell nest and stroma score (p < 0.001), as well as low FoxP3+ T‐cells in cancer cell nests (p < 0.001) and a total FoxP3+ low in both cancer cell nest and stroma score (p < 0.001). The gene discussed is CD8A; the disease is cancer.
