Abstract
Abstract Significant advances have been made in our understanding of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIM) and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Nevertheless, there is little understanding of the changes in the TIM in response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Thus, our aim was to investigate the changes in the TIM with neoadjuvant CRT in EC by assessing the immune cell infiltrate, the expression of immune related genes, and their association with treatment response and prognosis. Methods To decipher the effects of neoadjuvant CRT on the TIM, we obtained 58 p..
