Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes do not predict survival in human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: a single institution retrospective review
TIL density in HPV+OPSCC has been reported to predict survival outcomes. This is not supported by the findings of this study. Further prospective evaluation with a standardised scoring technique may fully elicit the prognostic value of TILs in HPV+OPSCC.
