Here, it is important to indicate that in our study, we determined TNFR2+ TILs in patient biopsies taken prior to chemotherapy (adjuvant-treated patients); however, because survival rates are routinely determined after chemotherapy, our results may have reflected the fact that TNFR2+ TILs, which were present in the tumors prior to chemotherapy, were affected by the treatment in a manner that increased anti-tumor activities and contributed to improved survival rates in the patients. Here, TNFRSF1B is linked to neoplasm.
