Abstract

IMPORTANCE Cytotoxic CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) participate in immune control of epithelial ovarian cancer; however, little is known about prognostic patterns of CD8+ TILs by histotype and in relation to other clinical factors. OBJECTIVE To define the prognostic role of CD8+ TILs in epithelial ovarian cancer. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This was a multicenter observational, prospective survival cohort study of the Ovarian Tumor Tissue Analysis Consortium. More than 5500 patients, including 3196 with high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOCs), were followed prospectively for over 24 650 person-years. EXPOSURES Following immunohistochemical analysis, CD8+ TILs were ide..
