LAG3 and neoplasm: A cell co-culture system and a cervical cancer mouse model were established to evaluate the effects of lag-3 on tumor growth and changes in CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell function.<h4>Results</h4>LAG-3 is highly expressed in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of cervical cancer, with its expression level increasing as the tumor stage progresses: the lower the degree of differentiation, the higher the LAG-3 expression; LAG-3 expression is also elevated in cases with lymph node metastasis and lymphovascular space invasion.
