The Frequency and Suppressor Function of CD4+CD25highFoxp3+ T Cells in the Circulation of Patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

Abstract

The frequency of T cells with suppressor phenotype and function (Treg) was significantly greater in HNSCC patients who were NED after oncologic therapy relative to those with AD. This finding suggests that oncologic therapy favors expansion of Treg.
