High density of intratumor CD45RO+ memory tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes predicts favorable prognosis in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma

While tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been increasingly appreciated as novel biomarkers for prognostic prediction in cancer, little attention has been paid to the CD45RO+ memory TILs and its associations with clinical outcomes in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The purpose of this study was to determine the associations between CD45RO+ TILs and clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in OSCC.
