High frequency of CD8 positive lymphocyte infiltration correlates with lack of lymph node involvement in early rectal cancer.

However, in the multivariate logistic regression analysis of the comparative cohort, the application of the same algorithm for prediction of lymph node involvement was only marginally significant and only due to the impact of vascular invasion (CD8: P = 0.61; vascular invasion: P = 0.02; tumor border configuration: P = 0.166).
