Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), normal breast parenchyma-infiltrating lymphocytes (NILs), and TILs were isolated from tissue specimens and quantified by flow cytometry. The results showed that increased proportion of CD8+ T cells, with decreased proportion of CD4+ T cells, was significant in gated CD3+ TILs as compared to autologous NILs or PBMCs (P < 0.001). The tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells significantly increased with stage progression, reflected in a more strongly decreased CD4/CD8 percentage (P = 0.003). The CD4/CD8 percentage of TILs was strongly correlated with lymphovascular permeation and subsequent lymph node metastasis (P < 0.001). Increased percentages of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells with decreased CD4/CD8 percentages are of prognostic importance for cancer progression in human breast cancer. ? 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
