ABSTRACT
AIM:
This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of CD45RO(+) tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in locally advanced rectal cancer treated with 30 Gy/10 fraction (10 f) neoadjuvant radiotherapy.METHODS:
This retrospective study involved 185 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who underwent 30 Gy/10 f nRT (biologic equivalent dose, 30 Gy) followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) between August 2003 and October 2009. The density of CD45RO(+) TILs was assessed by immunohistochemistry using an image-analysis system and tissue microarray and was evaluated for its association with histopathologic features along with disease-free survival (DFS).RESULTS:
Following neoadjuvant radiotherapy, the median density of CD45RO(+) TILs is 654/mm(2). High density of CD45RO(+) TILs was significantly associated with increased T and N downstaging effect (p = 0.006; p = 0.014), lesser-advanced T stage (p = 0.003) and TNM stage (p = 0.022). Prolonged DFS (89.0 vs. 68.1%) was also observed in CD45RO(+Hi) cases. On multivariate regression model, CD45RO(+) TILs (p = 0.026; odds ratio (OR), 0.436 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.209-0.907)), tumor differentiation (p = 0.057; OR, 1.878 (95% CI, 0.982-3.593)), ypT stage (p = 0.066; OR, 2.383 (95% CI, 0.943-6.025)), and ypN stage (p = 0.009; OR, 2.612 (95% CI, 1.266-5.388)) were independent factors for DFS.CONCLUSION:
The density of CD45RO(+) TILs cannot only predict tumor downstaging and ypTNM stage for rectal cancer following 30 Gy/10 f nRT but also promisingly predict long-term outcomes. These findings may be used to stratify patients and make alternative strategy of adjuvant treatment.
