Tertiary lymphoid structures are organised clusters of immune cells that form inside tumours and resemble small lymph nodes; their presence is linked to better immunotherapy outcomes.
Sautès-Fridman and colleagues review tertiary lymphoid structures as organised aggregates of B cells, T cells and dendritic cells that develop in chronically inflamed tissues including tumours, where they are generally associated with longer survival and response to checkpoint inhibitors. Because they are visible on H&E and spatial assays, they are a known-biology probe: a slide or spatial model that recovers TLS is learning something real.
