The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in the tumor microenvironment has been demonstrated to be of prognostic value in various cancers. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigated the prognostic value of TIL in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). We performed a systematic search in PubMed for publications that investigated the prognostic value of TIL in LSCC. A meta-analysis was performed including all studies assessing the association between TIL counts in hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-stained sections, for CD8+ and/or CD3+/CD4+ TIL and overall survival (OS) or disease-free survival (DFS). The pooled meta-analysis showed a favorable prognostic role for stromal TIL in HE sections for OS (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.36–0.91, p = 0.02), and for DFS (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.34–0.94, p = 0.03). High CD8+ TIL were associated with a prolonged OS (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.4–0.97, p = 0.04) and DFS (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.34–0.94, p = 0.002). High CD3+/CD4+ TIL demonstrated improved OS (HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.16–0.9, p = 0.03) and DFS (HR 0.23, 95% CI 0.10–0.53, p = 0.0005). This meta-analysis confirmed the favorable prognostic significance of TIL in LSCC. High stromal TIL evaluated in HE sections and intra-tumoral and stromal CD3+, CD4+ and/or CD8+ TIL might predict a better clinical outcome.

For more progress in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) immuno-oncology, further understanding of interactions between tumor and immune system as well as factors in the tumor microenvironment is required. HNSCC is seriously infiltrated by lymphocytes but is known to be highly immunosuppressive. The aim of this review is to highlight the complexity of tumor microenvironment and tumor- immune cells interaction in the HNSCC, in order to improve understanding of tumorigenesis and disease progression in HNSCC patient and to provide valuable information about prognostic markers. The main goal of this review is to discuss the role of the tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in tumor progression, their cross-talk with other components of the tumor microenvironment as well as their roles in carcinogenesis, metastasis process, treatment, and prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas.

Abstract Background: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a heterogeneous disease. In clinical practice, patients with similar clinicopathological characteristics often show different outcomes. This study evaluated the levels of primary LSCC intratumoral infiltrating lymphocytes (iTILs), tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte volume (TILV), frontier tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (fTILs), and their relations to the patient's clinical outcome. Materials and methods: According to the 2017 study of the International TILs Working Group, hematoxyline and eosin-stained slides from 412 patients were evaluated for their morphology of tumor immune infiltration status.Results: Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that high levels of iTILs, TILV, and fTILs were significantly correlated with OS (all P<0.05). Cox regression model analysis showed that high levels of iTILs, TILV, and fTILs were independently associated with better OS (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Local inflammatory markers in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, especially the levels of iTILs, TILV, and fTILs, are reliable prognostic factors.
