The Interplay of CD8+ TILs and Microvascular Density: A Novel Prognostic Indicator in Colorectal Adenocarcinoma

Key Points

• To explore how CD8+ TILs and microvascular density (MVD) serve as prognostic indicators in colorectal adenocarcinoma.
• Analyzed CD8+ TILs in tumor samples
• Measured microvascular density and VEGF expression
• Compared findings with TNM staging for prognostic insights
• High CD8+ TILs correlate with better prognosis
• Low MVD indicates favorable outcomes
• Increased MVD and VEGF suggest aggressive tumor behavior
