免疫细胞浸润作为子宫内膜癌预后因素：一项 meta 分析

The immune system's role in cancer development and progression is receiving increasing attention. Endometrial cancer, common gynecological malignancy, has exhibited promising responses to immunotherapies.

This study aims to assess the prognostic significance of various immune cell subsets in endometrial cancer, focusing on potential novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. A systematic literature review and meta-analysis were conducted. Eleven eligible studies, comprising 2,319 patients with endometrial cancer, were included.

The primary outcome was the association between levels of immune cell types, particularly CD8+ T cells, and overall prognosis. The meta-analysis found that high levels of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), particularly CD8+ T cells, were significantly associated with better overall prognosis in endometrial cancer patients.

These findings suggest that the tumor immune microenvironment plays a crucial role in endometrial cancer prognosis. This meta-analysis indicates that higher levels of CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment are linked to improved prognosis in endometrial cancer, underscoring the immune system's potential in prognostication and therapy.
