Abstract
The present invention relates to an in vitro method for the prognosis of survival of a patient suffering from a solid cancer, comprising the quantification of the cell density of CD8+ cells and DC-LAMP+ dendritic cells present in a tumor tissue sample from said patient, wherein a high density of CD8+ cells and DC-LAMP+ dendritic cells indicates that the patient has a favorable prognosis, a high density of CD8+ cells and a low density of DC-LAMP+ dendritic cells indicates that the patient has a poor prognosis, and a low density of CD8+ cells and DC-LAMP+ dendritic cells indicates that the patient has the worst prognosis.
