Due to its high ability to disseminate, ovarian cancer remains one of the largest threats to women's health, worldwide. Evidence showed that the immune cells infiltrating the tumor microenvironment are crucial in mediating metastasis. Therefore, it is necessary to understand which types of immune cells are involved in metastasis, and to determine the mechanisms by which they influence the process. By immunohistochemistry, we found that higher concentrations of intratumoral CD8
