Epstein-Barr病毒(EBV)阳性和阴性胃癌(GC)的淋巴细胞浸润程度与预后的关系尚未完全评估。虽然ebv阳性GCs中浸润的CD8+ T细胞、自然杀伤细胞、树突状细胞、ki67阳性细胞的平均数量和级别明显高于阴性GCs,但ebv阳性组的生存率没有明显提高。这些发现提示EBV阳性胃癌中淋巴细胞的浸润并不一定意味着更好的预后,EBV状态并不是胃癌患者预后的重要因素。2003爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
The relationship between the degree of lymphocytic infiltration into the tumor and the prognosis has not been completely evaluated between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive and -negative gastric carcinoma (GC). Although the average numbers and the grades of the infiltrating CD8+ T cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, Ki67-positive cells were significantly greater in EBV-positive GCs than in -negative GCs, there was no significant survival improvement in EBV-positive group. These findings suggest that the infiltration of lymphocytes in the EBV-positive GC does not necessarily meant better prognosis and that the EBV status is not a significant prognostic factor in the patients with gastric cancer.
