Lymphocytic infiltration surrounding liver metastases from colorectal cancer

Abstract: The extent of lymphocytic infiltration between the metastatic nodule and hepatic parenchyma may reflect host defensive activity in the liver and is closely related to prognosis in patients who underwent hepatic resection for liver metastases from colorectal cancer.

“…10 Similarly, tumour lymphocytic infiltration was shown to independently predict patient outcome in patients with CLM. 48 The prognostic value of lymphocytes does not appear to be reflected at the systemic level, however, as whilst the number of tumourinfiltrating CD8+ T-lymphocytes was found to correlate with patient outcome in primary CRC, the number of these cells in the systemic circulation showed no correlation with prognosis. 49,50 Similarly, a recent study found no correlation between total circulating lymphocyte count and outcome in patients with either operable primary CRC or unresectable CLM.…”

“…Una linfocitopenia relativa podrĂ­a afectar el pronĂłstico. En la misma lĂ­nea, algunos estudios han demostrado que los pacientes con menos infiltrados linfocitarios en los mĂĄrgenes tumorales tienen peor pronĂłstico [23][24][25][26] y, segĂșn el sistema de etapificaciĂłn de Jass 27 , un mayor infiltrado linfocitario en el tumor estĂĄ asociado a una mejor chance de sobrevida. Otros estudios han validado el hecho que un tumor tenga mayor infiltrado inflamatorio, principalmente compuesto por linfocitos, se correlaciona con mejor pronĂłstico 28,29 .…”

“…Host immune response plays a role in the evolution of tumour growth. An impaired host immune response, evidenced by a weak lymphocyte infiltration at tumour margin, is associated with a poor prognosis in patients who had liver resection for CRLM (Okano et al, 2003). There is an inverse relationship between CRP levels and tumour lymphocyte infiltration, with a raised CRP concentration indicative of a weak infiltration of lymphocytes at the periphery of the tumour (Canna et al, 2005).…”
