Purpose: We investigated the role of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in pretreatment primary breast cancer to predict pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with clinical node-positive disease (cN +). Methods: The subjects of this study were 60 patients with cN + , who received NAC followed by breast surgery with axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). We conducted a semi-quantitative assessment of TILs in pretreatment primary tumors and their association with clinicopathological factors and axillary lymph node metastasis. Results: We observed a higher number of TILs in tumors with negative hormone receptors, positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, or high Ki67. TILs were associated with a favorable response to NAC in primary tumors. The rate of axillary pathologic complete response (Ax-pCR) was significantly higher in patients with a high number of TILs than in patients with a low number of TILs (72.0% versus 17.1%, p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, a high number of TILs was a significant predictor of Ax-pCR as well as of pCR of the primary tumor after NAC. Importantly, all patients with HER2-positive tumors in the high TILs group showed Ax-pCR on ALND. Conclusion: TILs in pretreatment primary breast cancer had the potential to predict therapeutic efficacy of NAC in patients with clinical node-positive disease.
