HLA-DR expression is associated with longer overall survival when measured in carcinoma–adjacent epithelium and stroma, but not in carcinoma compartments. A cohort of n = 77 stage II CRC patient specimens were segregated into HLA-DR high or low populations based on median expression level, and differences in survival time were assessed by log rank (Mantel–Cox) test, in tissue epithelium and stroma. The HLA-DRhigh cohort showed a longer survival time compared to HLA-DRlow populations, in carcinoma–adjacent normal colorectal epithelium (a) and stroma (b), but no difference was observed within the carcinoma epithelium (c) or stroma (d)
