High density of TILs in tumor center and invasive margin was associated with smaller tumor size (CD3+TILsIM), reduced tumor invasion (CD3+TILsIM), absence of lymph node metastasis (CD3+TILsIM and CD8+TILsTC), earlier stage (CD3+TILsIM and CD8+TILsIM), and lower tumor grade (CD3+TILsIM and CD8+TILsTC). The gene discussed is CD8A; the disease is metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
