In conclusion, there were no significant differences in clinicopathological characteristics between LR-HCC and non-LR-HCC, except for gross and LR microscopic features. CCL20 expression in LR-HCC may contribute to infiltration of large numbers of CD8-positive lymphocytes.
CCL20 is a prognosis-related biomarker in breast cancer on the basis of its correlation with immune infiltration levels and has potential to also be a therapeutic target.
