Exploratory analysis of stromal and peritumoural tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (tils) in malignant parotid gland tumours: associations with clinicopathological factors and survival

Key Points

• This analysis aims to explore the relationship between peritumoural TIL density and survival outcomes in malignant parotid gland tumours.
• Conducted an exploratory analysis of stromal and peritumoural TILs
• Examined associations with clinicopathological factors
• Assessed survival outcomes of patients with malignant parotid gland tumours
• Increased peritumoural TIL density correlates with better survival
• Suggests potential prognostic value for TIL assessment
• Findings indicate a need for larger prospective studies
