Abstract
BACKGROUND: As dendritic cells (DCs) are the major antigen-presenting cells of the immune system, understanding their role in esophageal cancer is essential for the development of preventative and treatment strategies. This study investigated the expression level and clinical value of tumor infiltrating dendritic cells (TIDCs) in tumor tissues of patients with esophageal cancer.
METHODS: From January 2019 to January 2021, 184 patients with esophageal cancer treated were prospectively enrolled as the observation group and 184 patients with benign esophageal tumors were selected as the control group. Tumor tissue samples were obtained and the expression level and phenotypes of the TIDCs were analyzed. The correlation between TIDC expression and clinical characteristics of patients with esophageal cancer was investigated.
RESULTS: The density of the TIDCs in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (8.76±2.25
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with esophageal cancer had low expression and function of TIDCs, and this was related to the imbalance of T-lymphocyte subsets, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, and lesion size.
