Association of Intra-tumoral Infiltrating Macrophages and Regulatory T Cells Is an Independent Prognostic Factor in Gastric Cancer after Radical Resection
Macrophages (Mφ) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) are the major components of the inflammatory infiltrate in virtually all tumors. The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of Mφ...
