Correlations between the CEA level, number of monocytes, LMR, ApoA1 and density of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. a The density of CD8+ T cells in the core of the tumor showed a tendency that correlated with the level of CEA in the blood, with a coefficient of − 0.135 (P = 0.037). b The density of CD3+ T cells in the core of the tumor was significantly related to the LMR, with a coefficient of 0.135 (P = 0.038). c The density of CD3+ T cells in the core of the tumor showed a tendency that correlated with the number of monocytes in the blood, with a coefficient of − 0.127 (P = 0.052). d The densities of CD3+ T cells in the core of the tumor showed a tendency that correlated with ApoA1, with a coefficient of 0.127 (P = 0.051). e The densities of CD3+ T cells in the invasive margin were correlated with ApoA1, with a coefficient of 0.169 (P = 0.010)
