Figure 5

Macrophage polarization in the lymph node sinus depending on the grading of the primary tumor. The figure shows the ratio between the CD163 cell count and the CD11c cell count in the lymph node sinus (LN sinus) as indicator of M2 polarization. Tumor draining lymph nodes free of metastasis have been examined. P-values generated by the ANOVA-test are indicated. A significantly increased CD163/CD11c ratio in the lymph node sinus can be found in in cases with Grading 3 (G3) of the primary tumor compared to cases with Grading 2 (G2).
