Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) form outside of lymphoid tissues at sites of chronic inflammation, including tumours. This Review describes the evidence demonstrating that TLSs are critical for generating antitumour immune responses and are associated with better prognosis in certain cancer types. It also presents potential strategies aimed at inducing TLS neogenesis to improve clinical responses in poorly immunogenic cancers.
