“…Furthermore, mature TLSs were characterized by overexpression of antitumor immune pathways such as B cell-related pathways, MHC class II antigen presentation while immature TLS were associated with protumor pathways, including T cell exhaustion and enhancement of DNA repair pathways in the corresponding cancer.Conclusion The observation that GC-derived peritoneal metastases often contain immature TLS which are associated with immune suppressive regulatory tumor-infiltrating leucocytes, is in keeping with the lack of response to immune checkpoint blockade and the poor prognostic features of peritoneal metastatic GC, which needs to be taken into account when optimizing immunomodulatory strategies for metastatic GC.…”
