6P Prognostic significance of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes on survival outcomes of patients with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionTILs are a promising prognostic biomarker in pancreatic cancer. High levels of CD8+ TILs correlated with favorable OS and DFS, while high levels of FoxP3+ TILs associated with poor OS. Nonetheless, results of this meta-analysis should be approached with caution due to the lack of established standards in assessment of TILs and the small number of available studies. Prospective studies that assess TILs in a more comprehensive and standardized manner are needed.Legal entity responsible for the studyThe authors.FundingHas not received any funding.DisclosureAll authors have declared no conflicts of interest.
