Prognostic Significance of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures and Tumour-Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma A study investigated the characteristics and clinical significance of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) and tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) across 1,286 patients. TLSs were present in 16% of tumours and associated with improved survival and therapy response, particularly when mature and dense. Conversely, high infiltration of scattered TILs predicted poor prognosis. The study highlighted the importance of immune infiltration patterns, showing that mature TLSs correlate with decreased relapse and death risks, whereas high TILs indicate worse outcomes, revealing complex immune dynamics in ccRCC.
