Deskripsi
Recent studies have highlighted the importance of B cells and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in the modulation of anti-tumor immune responses. Here, the authors characterize how HPV status influences the phenotype of tumor infiltrating B cells in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and demonstrate that TLS with germinal centres are associated with better survival.
