Prognostic Role of CD68 < sup > + < /sup > and CD163 < sup > + < /sup > Tumour-Associated Macrophages and PD-L1 Expression in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings indicate CD163+ can provide prognostic utility in OSCC. However, our data suggests CD68+ TAMs were not associated with any prognostic relevance in OSCC patients, whereas PD-L1 expression may prove to be a differential prognostic marker dependent on tumour location and stage of progression.PMID:37397243 | PMC:PMC10310926 | DOI:10.3389/bjbs.2023.11065
