Increased CD103+ T lymphocytes in lymph nodes as a marker of metastasis from non-haematopoietic malignancies

Key Points

• The research aims to identify the relationship between CD103+ T lymphocyte frequency and non-haematopoietic malignancies.
• Analyzed excisional and core needle biopsies from lymph nodes
• Assessed frequency of CD103+ T lymphocytes
• Focused on cases of clinically concerning lymphadenopathy
• Increased CD103+ T cells were significantly associated with metastatic non-haematopoietic malignancies
• Frequency of CD103+ T cells can serve as a potential biomarker for metastasis
