Furthermore, significant correlations emerged among FAP + CAFs, TILs, and CD68 +  cells, and the co-occurrence of elevated FAP + CAFs, T-cytotoxic (CD8 +), T-regulatory (CD4 + FOXP3 +) cells, and macrophages (CD68 +) at the tumor center were independently associated with worse CSS. This evidence concerns the gene FAP and neoplasm.
