In lymph node metastases there was a significant positive correlation between FOXP3 TIL counts and CD8, CD3 and PD-L1 TIL counts (Spearman correlation coefficient 0.59, 0.70 and 0.61, respectively, p < 0.05 for all) (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene FOXP3 and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
