Abstract

Objective: Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is associated with unprecedented remission and long-term disease control. However, only a subset of gynecological cancer patients responds to current treatment with ICIs. The response of patients to ICIs has recently been linked to the formation of de novo lymphoid tissue in tumors, the so-called tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs). My group identified a transcriptionally unique resident memory-like CD8 T cell subset that produces the lymphogenic chemokine CXCL13, an essential factor in lymphoid tissue formation.
