The Anatomical Location Shapes the Immune Infiltrate in Tumors of Same Etiology and Affects Survival

Purpose: The tumor immune microenvironment determines clinical outcome. Whether the original tissue in which a primary tumor develops influences this microenvironment is not well understood. Experimental Design: We applied high-dimensional single-cell mass cytometry [Cytometry by Time-Of-Flight (CyTOF)] analysis and functional studies to analyze immune cell populations in human papillomavirus (HPV)–induced primary tumors of the cervix (cervical...
