Abstract
We previously showed in human papillomavirus positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV+OPSCC) that the presence of intratumoral (IT) PD-L1+ immune cells (ICs) or CD8+ infiltrating ICs are of prognostic value. Here we report the prognostic significance of these immune biomarkers in an independent validation cohort of 177 HPV+OPSCC patients. IT and stromal (S) localisation of PD-L1+ and CD8+ ICs were scored. High abundance (≥5%) of...
