[OA-27] A study of tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte in distal cholangiocarcinoma
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is one of major cancer in Northeast Thailand. Studies reveal tumours can induce immune response due to their altered protein products recognised as foreign bodies by the immune system. Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) can be assessed to represent the mentioned immune response. Recently, TILs are a potential predictive factor of prognosis in many solid tumours; still, data researched in CCA are limited. This study aimed to assess TILs in distal cholangiocarcinoma according to The International TILs Working Group (ITWG) guideline and to correlate it with...
Axillary lymph node ratio is an independent prognostic factor in Thai breast cancer patients
The number of metastatic lymph nodes to the total number of dissected axillary lymph nodes (lymph node ratio: LNR) is described as an independent prognostic factor in breast cancer patients, beside the traditional account of the number of axillary lymph node metastasis (pN stage). We investigated the correlation between LNR and prognosis among Thai...
