“…While actual median values were not reported, the numbers of PD1 + T FH (P=0.0007), FoxP3 + (P=0.0069), and total CD4 + cells (P=0.04) above the median were associated with improved overall survival (OS), and had independent prognostic significance in multivariate analyses. 42 This was confirmed in more recent studies; although the quantity of PD-1 + TILs showed no significant association with clinicopathological variables, the presence of PD-1 + TILs (score 1-3) significantly prolonged OS (P=0.026) and progression-free survival (PFS) (P=0.005), and was an independent favorable prognostic factor in multivariate analyses. 38 In contrast, in another study, patients with PD-1 expression >20/hpf had a trend to poorer OS (P=0.120).…”
