Fig. 1From: High proportion of circulating CD8 + CD28- senescent T cells is an independent predictor of distant metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapySchematic diagram. Radiotherapy can influence immune function. We studied nasopharyngeal cancer patients’ immune function after radiotherapy and identified immune-related prognostic factors associated with distant metastasis utilizing a mathematical method. The nomogram based on the prognostic markers had good predictive value for DFS and DMFS. We found that CD8+CD28− T cells are associated with stage, EBV counts, radiotherapy treatment and age and can be a potential prognostic biomarker for nasopharyngeal cancer patients who receive radiotherapyBack to article page
