Method for prognosis of survival time of a patient suffering from solid cancer

摘要

An in vitro method for the prognosis of survival of a patient suffering from solid cancer, comprising the following steps: a) to quantify, in a sample of tumor tissue from said patient, the cell density of CD8 + cells, b) to quantify, in a tumor-induced lymphoid structure of said patient, the cell density of DC-LAMP + dendritic cells, c) comparing the cell density values obtained in step a) and b) with predetermined reference values for each type of cells in each location, and d) providing a favorable prognosis of survival time for said patient when the cell density of CD8 + cells and DC-LAMP + dendritic cells is higher than said predetermined reference values, providing a poor prognosis of survival time for said patient when the density CD8 + cell and DC-LAMP + dendritic cells are below these predetermined reference values, or provide an intermediate prognosis of survival time for said patient when the cell density of one marker is greater than said predetermined reference value and the cell density of the other marker is less than said predetermined reference value, wherein the method is used in combined with TNM staging classification.
