Turning Tertiary Lymphoid Structures (TLS) into Hot Spots: Values of TLS in Gastrointestinal Tumors. [PDF]
Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are ectopic lymphocyte aggregation structures found in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Emerging evidence shows that TLSs are significantly correlated with the progression of gastrointestinal tumors, patients’ prognosis, and the efficacy of adjuvant therapy. Besides, there are still some immunosuppressive factors in

Prognostic value of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in digestive system cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Abstract Background Existing literature suggests that tertiary lymphatic structure (TLS) is associated with the progression of cancer. However, the prognostic role of TLS in digestive system cancers remains controversial.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) identification and density assessment on H&E-stained digital slides of lung cancer. [PDF]
Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are ectopic aggregates of lymphoid cells in inflamed, infected, or tumoral tissues that are easily recognized on an H&E histology slide as discrete entities, distinct from lymphocytes. TLS are associated with improved cancer prognosis but there is no standardised method available to quantify their presence ...

CD86-Positive Mature Tertiary Lymphoid Structures Are Associated With CD8<sup>+</sup> T-Cell Infiltration and Favorable Clinical Outcomes in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
CD86‐positive mature tertiary lymphoid structures were associated with increased intratumoral CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, a higher proportion of Granzyme B‐expressing CD8+ T cells in an exploratory analysis, and favorable clinical outcomes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Background Tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) is an organized infiltration of immune cells, showing features of germinal center (GC) commonly seen in secondary lymphoid organs. However, its relationship with tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) has not been studied and we hypothesized that TDLN may influence maturation

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are ectopic lymphoid aggregates that reflect lymphoid neogenesis occurring in tissues at sites of inflammation. They are detected in tumors where they orchestrate local and systemic anti-tumor responses.

Role of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures (TLS) in Anti-Tumor Immunity: Potential Tumor-Induced Cytokines/Chemokines that Regulate TLS Formation in Epithelial-Derived Cancers [PDF]
Following the successes of monoclonal antibody immunotherapies (trastuzumab (Herceptin®) and rituximab (Rituxan®)) and the first approved cancer vaccine, Provenge® (sipuleucel-T), investigations into the immune system and how it can be modified by a tumor has become an exciting and promising new field of cancer research.
