The aim of this study was to determine the expression of B7-H3, B7-H4, Foxp3 and IL-2 in cervical cancer tissues, and evaluate the corresponding clinical significance. The expression of B7-H3, B7-H4, Foxp3 and IL-2 in 108 cervical cancer specimens was detected using immunohistochemistry, and their relationship with clinicopathologic parameters was determined. B7-H3, B7-H4 and Foxp3 had high levels of expression in cervical cancer cells (72.22, 80.56, and 91.56%, respectively). B7-H3 levels were only significantly associated with tumor size (P=0.013), while B7-H4, Foxp3 and IL-2 levels were significantly associated with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (P=0.023, 0.014 and 0.036, respectively) and tumor size (P=0.045, 0.010 and 0.021, respectively). Their expression levels were not correlated with age, histologic type, differentiation and lymph node metastasis (all P>0.05). Cox regression multivariate analysis confirmed that B7-H3 or B7-H4 overexpression was an independent prognostic factor. In addition, there were significant positive relationships between the expression of B7-H3 and B7-H4 with Foxp3 (P
