Tertiary Lymphoid Structures (TLS) are centers of immune
activity (B-cell proliferation and antibody production) that
develop in chronically inflamed tissues such as tumors.

The presence of TLS is associated with longer progression-free
survival and better response to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
• Rapidly growing evidence illustrates correlation between TLS-
derived antibodies in the tumor microenvironment and positive
clinical outcomes.
●
• TLS-derived antibodies have been shown to be associated with
apoptosis of cancer cells in patients.
