“…In a wide range of human cancers, the presence of B cells and TFH cells is correlated with prolonged survival and favorable therapeutic responses, including in NSCLC (Germain et al, 2014), breast cancer (Garaud et al, 2019;Gu-Trantien et al, 2013;Gu-Trantien et al, 2017;Hollern et al, 2019;Lu et al, 2020), melanoma (Cabrita et al, 2020Griss et al, 2019;Helmink et al, 2020), sarcoma (Petitprez et al, 2020), head and neck cancer (Cillo et al, 2020), colorectal cancer (Bindea et al, 2013), gastric cancer (Hennequin et al, 2016) and ovarian cancer (Kroeger et al, 2016;Truxova et al, 2018). This correlation is especially strong when TFH cells and B cells are located in tumor-associated tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), as these structures could facilitate TFH cell-B cell interactions with subsequent effector functions in tumors (Ruffin et al, 2020;Sautes-Fridman et al, 2016;Sautes-Fridman et al, 2019;Sharonov et al, 2020). Yet, the functional importance of tumor-specific TFH cells remains uncertain, as does the importance of their interactions with B cells.…”
