To examine tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and their prognostic value in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) after neoadjuvant therapy. Intra-tumoral CD4+, CD8+, and FOXP3+ lymphocytes was examined by immunohistochemistry using a computer-assisted quantitative analysis in 136 PDAC patients who received neoadjuvant therapy and pancreaticoduodenectomy. The results were correlated with clinicopathologic parameters and survival. High CD4+ TILs in treated PDAC were associated with high CD8+ TILs (P = 0.003), differentiation (P = 0.04) and a lower frequency of recurrence (P = 0.02). Patients with high CD4+ TILs had longer disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) than did patients with low CD4+ TILs (P < 0.01). The median OS of patients with a high CD8+/FOXP3+ lymphocyte ratio (39.5 [standard deviation, 6.1] months) was longer than that of patients with a low CD8+/FOXP3+ lymphocyte ratio (28.3 [standard deviation, 2.3] months; P=0.01). In multivariate analysis, high CD4+ TILs were an independent prognostic factor for DFS [Hazard ratio (HR): 0.49, 95% CI, 0.30–0.81; P = 0.005] and OS (HR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.33–0.89; P = 0.02). High CD4+ lymphocytes is associated with tumor differentiation, lower recurrence and is an independent prognostic factor for survival in PDAC patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy.
