“…We were surprised to find that the Th/Tc (CD4:CD8) ratio is an independent prognostic factor for stage I- III BC. Th/Tc ratio repeatedly reports being associated with lymph node metastasis and the prognosis of triple-negative BC ( 44 , 48 – 52 ).…”

“…Both Th and Tc increase and participate in the immune response. Tc cells are the key effector cell population that mediates effective anti-tumor immunity ( 43 , 44 ). On the contrary, Th cells in the tumor have a negative prognostic effect on the prognosis of BC patients.…”

“…T lymphocyte subsets are drastically reduced in cancer patients, indicating that the body's cellular immune activity is repressed and the ability to recognize and kill mutant cells is diminished. Moderate proportions and ratios of T cells in PBMC indicate healthy immunity and may contribute to a favorable prognosis 30 , 31 . Increased percentage of NK cells in colorectal cancer patients and monocytes in melanoma patients were discovered compared to healthy donors 19 , 32 .…”
