Although ovarian cancer is considered an immunoreactive disease, moderate to no efficacy has been shown in the trials testing immune-checkpoint inhibitors in these patients performed thus far. The authors of this Review summarize these results and propose a systematic classification of ovarian cancer based on CD8+ T cell immunophenotypes that, integrated with genetic data, can enable the design of tailored therapeutic approaches, including adoptive cell therapy and novel immunotherapy combinations.
