Inverse Correlation between Tumoral Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase Expression and Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Endometrial Cancer: Its Association with Disease Progression and Survival

Abstract

Tumoral IDO expression correlated with a reduced number of TILs and NK cells in endometrial cancer, possibly contributing to disease progression and impaired clinical outcome. These findings suggest that targeting IDO to restore host antitumor immunity may be a therapeutic strategy for endometrial cancer.
