The Impact of Nutritional Status and Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (CD4+ and CD8+) on Chemotherapy Response in Colorectal Cancer Patients.
Introduction: The World Health Organization reports that colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with an estimated 1.9 million new cases annually. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are frequently associated with colorectal cancer and are believed to play a significant role in the immune response to cancer cells. Regarding chemotherapy responses in patients with colorectal cancer, this study aims to investigate the association between nutritional status and infiltrating lymphocyte counts, specifically CD4+ and CD8+.
Materials and methods: This prospective observational study analyzed the impact of nutritional status using body mass index (BMI) and TILs levels (CD4+/CD8+) on chemotherapy outcomes in CRC patients treated at a tertiary hospital in West Java, Indonesia, from July 2023 to June 2024.
Results: Thirty-six research subjects were included. Eighteen participants had high levels of TILs CD4+ and CD8+ expression. Nutritional status, age, histological type, tumor site, stage, and metastasis showed no significant correlation with the expression of either CD4+ or CD8+. Nutritional status, levels of CD4+ and CD8+ were significantly associated with chemotherapy responses in CRC patients (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Nutritional status and elevated TIL levels (CD4+/CD8+) positively correlate with better chemotherapy response in CRC patients.
期刊介绍：
Cancer Management and Research is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal focusing on cancer research and the optimal use of preventative and integrated treatment interventions to achieve improved outcomes, enhanced survival, and quality of life for cancer patients. Specific topics covered in the journal include:
◦Epidemiology, detection and screening
◦Cellular research and biomarkers
◦Identification of biotargets and agents with novel mechanisms of action
◦Optimal clinical use of existing anticancer agents, including combination therapies
◦Radiation and surgery
◦Palliative care
◦Patient adherence, quality of life, satisfaction
The journal welcomes submitted papers covering original research, basic science, clinical & epidemiological studies, reviews & evaluations, guidelines, expert opinion and commentary, and case series that shed novel insights on a disease or disease subtype.
