Email this article Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes influence on prognosis and outcome of ovarian cancer
Abstract
Ovarian cancer has the highest case fatality rate among the gynecological malignancies. Most cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Although more than half of patients are in remission following the “debulking” surgery and first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, the five-year survival rate remains less than 25%. In the case of treatment in the early stages, the 5-year survival rate reaches 90%. No precise prognostic biomarkers for ovarian cancer have been available until the present. At the same time, growing evidence suggests that ovarian cancer is an immunogenic disease that can be identified by the patient's (host) immune system. The interaction between the host immune system and cancer cells is crucial for tumor progression. In recent years, many studies have been devoted to the study of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in cases of ovarian cancer. The presence of tumor-infiltrating T-cells in ovarian cancer is a clear prognostic indicator and correlates with improved clinical outcomes. It is thought that the presence of tumor-infiltrating CD8 + T cells is associated with improved survival in almost all solid tumor types. Favorable clinical outcome and reliable prognosis, following the “debulking” surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, is in close correlation with the existence of TILs not only in the cancer tissue but also in its microenvironment.
