We found that the intra‐tumoral CD8 + /FoxP3 + TIL ratio, obtained by immunohistochemistry, remained an independent predictor colorectal cancer survival (HR 0.40, 95%CI 0.17‐0.95, P = 0.037), while the CD8 + /Treg TIL ratio obtained by flow‐cytometry showed a trend towards such independence (HR 0.46, 95%CI 0.19‐1.12, P = 0.087).
