Mature tertiary lymphoid structure is a specific biomarker of cancer immunotherapy and does not predict outcome to chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer

In this collaborative work, researchers from Institut Bergonié, Institut Gustave Roussy, and Explicyte, demonstrated that presence of APAP in plasma from cancer patients before they undergo immunotherapy was independently associated with a worse clinical outcome.

Through this study, authors depicted the association between the enrichment of Tumor Associated Macrophages (TAMs) in the Tumor Micro Environment (TME) of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and the resistance to immunotherapy, regardless of the programmed death ligand 1 status.
