BACKGROUND/AIM: Recently, several studies have reported that CD103 T cells are associated with antitumor immunity in gastric cancer (GC). However, the significance of CD103 T cells in Borrmann type 4 GC remains unclear. The aim of this study is to assess the association of CD103 T cells with type 4 GC.
Tissue samples obtained from surgically resected specimens of patients with type 4 GC were collected, and immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the presence of CD103 T cells.
A total of 46 patients were analyzed. In some patients, high CD103 expression was observed, and patients with high CD103 expression tended to have a better prognosis than those with low CD103 expression. In particular, for patients who receive doublet chemotherapy after surgery, high CD103 expression was associated with a good prognosis.
CD103 T cells may be a prognostic marker in type 4 GC.
背景/目的:最近,多项研究报道CD103⁺ T细胞与胃癌(GC)的抗肿瘤免疫相关。然而,CD103⁺ T细胞在Borrmann 4型GC中的意义仍不明确。本研究的目的是评估CD103⁺ T细胞与4型GC的相关性。
收集4型GC患者手术切除标本的组织样本,进行免疫组织化学染色以检测CD103⁺ T细胞的存在。
共分析了46例患者。在部分患者中观察到CD103高表达,CD103高表达的患者预后往往优于CD103低表达的患者。特别是对于术后接受双联化疗的患者,CD103高表达与良好预后相关。
CD103⁺ T细胞可能是4型GC的一个预后标志物。
