The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in the tumor microenvironment has been demonstrated to be of prognostic value in various cancers. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigated the prognostic value of TIL in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). We performed a systematic search in PubMed for publications that investigated the prognostic value of TIL in LSCC. A meta-analysis was performed including all studies assessing the association between TIL counts in hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-stained sections, for CD8+ and/or CD3+/CD4+ TIL and overall survival (OS) or disease-free survival (DFS). The pooled meta-analysis showed a favorable prognostic role for stromal TIL in HE sections for OS (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.36-0.91, = 0.02), and for DFS (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.34-0.94, = 0.03). High CD8+ TIL were associated with a prolonged OS (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.4-0.97, = 0.04) and DFS (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.34-0.94, = 0.002). High CD3+/CD4+ TIL demonstrated improved OS (HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.16-0.9, = 0.03) and DFS (HR 0.23, 95% CI 0.10-0.53, = 0.0005). This meta-analysis confirmed the favorable prognostic significance of TIL in LSCC. High stromal TIL evaluated in HE sections and intra-tumoral and stromal CD3+, CD4+ and/or CD8+ TIL might predict a better clinical outcome.
肿瘤微环境中肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞(TIL)的存在已被证明在多种癌症中具有预后价值。在这项系统评价和荟萃分析中,我们研究了TIL在喉鳞状细胞癌(LSCC)中的预后价值。我们在PubMed中进行了系统检索,以查找研究TIL在LSCC中预后价值的出版物。进行了一项荟萃分析,纳入了所有评估苏木精-伊红(HE)染色切片中CD8 +和/或CD3 + / CD4 + TIL计数与总生存期(OS)或无病生存期(DFS)之间关联的研究。汇总的荟萃分析显示,HE切片中基质TIL对OS具有良好的预后作用(HR 0.57,95%CI 0.36-0.91,P = 0.02),对DFS也有良好预后作用(HR 0.56,95%CI 0.34-0.94,P = 0.03)。高CD8 + TIL与延长的OS(HR 0.62,95%CI 0.4-0.97,P = 0.04)和DFS(HR 0.73,95%CI 0.34-0.94,P = 0.002)相关。高CD3 + / CD4 + TIL显示OS改善(HR 0.32,95%CI 0.16-0.9,P = 0.03)和DFS改善(HR 0.23,95%CI 0.10-0.53,P = 0.0005)。这项荟萃分析证实了TIL在LSCC中的良好预后意义。在HE切片中评估的高基质TIL以及肿瘤内和基质CD3 +、CD4 +和/或CD8 + TIL可能预示着更好的临床结局。
