%X Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) and poorer survival outcomes. However, the role of tumor immune status in influencing these relationships remains unclear.We conducted a population-based matched case-control study (n = 4,724) with prospective long-term follow-up of CRC cases (n = 2,321; median follow-up, 9.5 years). Tumor immune status was assessed using an immune cell score (ICS), derived from CD3+ and CD8+ T-cell densities measured at the invasive margin and tumor core of resected specimens. ICS was stratified into high (ICSHi), intermediate (ICSInt), and low (ICSLow) immune infiltration on the basis of standard cutoffs (25
