Relationship between expression of V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) in ICs and clinicopathologic features. The higher VISTA expression in ICs was correlated with higher tumor stage (Spearman’s rank correlation = 0.325, p < 0.001), higher pathologic grade (Spearman’s rank correlation = 0.438, p < 0.001), tumor size larger than 3 cm (Spearman’s rank correlation = 0.322, p < 0.001), and multiple cancer lesions (Spearman’s rank correlation = 0.203, p = 0.01)
