Prognostic Significance of Stromal Versus Intratumoral Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Different Subtypes of Breast Cancer Treated With Cytotoxic Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Abstract

TILs are variably correlated with better neoadjuvant chemotherapy response depending on their location and clinical subtype of BC. It could indicate that TILs might be functionally heterogeneous with regard to their role in mediating antitumor immune response, depending on their location and BC subtypes.
