In patients with colorectal cancer, the rate of recurrence increases as the histologic stage progresses. However, the prediction of recurrence in individual patients is difficult. Many studies have reported on the relation between outcomes and tissue-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). The aim of our study was to clarify the relation between TILs and oncologic outcomes in patients with colon cancer using propensity score matching analysis.
