Abstract

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are ectopic lymphoid formations which are composed predominantly of B cells, T cells and dendritic cells. The presence in the tumor compartment of mature TLS - characterized by mature follicles containing germinal centers - has been strongly associated with improved survival upon cancer immunotherapies for patients with solid tumors. For this reason, TLS could be used as a predictive factor biomarker to identify the patients more likely to benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors.
