CD15+ tumor infiltrating granulocytic cells can predict recurrence and their depletion is accompanied by good responses to S‐1 with oral cancer

Abstract

Background

It has been reported in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) that myeloid‐derived suppressor cells infiltrate tumor tissues. This study examined whether S‐1 chemotherapy changes immune cell populations in the tumor microenvironment.

Methods

We examined 71 patients with of OSCC, including 51 patients who received preoperative S‐1 chemotherapy. Immunohistochemistry for PD‐L1, CD8, forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3), and CD15 was performed using biopsy and resected specimens.

Results

The numbers of CD8+, FOXP3+, and CD15+ cells in resected specimens were significantly decreased by S‐1 chemotherapy. The reduction of the proportion of CD15+ cells significantly differed between responders and nonresponders. Most responders were distributed into the group with low PD‐L1 expression and a low density of CD8+ cells before chemotherapy. Furthermore, many patients with recurrence exhibited a high density of CD15+ cells in biopsy specimens.

Conclusion

Preoperative S‐1 chemotherapy can potentially improve prognosis by reducing CD15+ cells in the tumor microenvironment.
