Aims: We investigated the clinical implications and molecular features of TLS in stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinicopathological characteristics of 540 patients with p-stage I LUAD. Logistic regression analysis was applied to determining the relationships between clinicopathological features and the presence of TLS. TLS-associated immune infiltration pattern and signature genes were characterized using the transcriptomic profiles of 511 LUADs from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

Results: The presence of TLS was associated with a higher pT stage, low- and middle-grade patterns, and the absence of tumor spreading through air spaces (STAS) and subsolid nodules. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified that the presence of TLS was associated with favorable overall survival (OS) (p < 0.001) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that the most favorable OS (p < 0.001) and RFS (p < 0.001) favored the TLS + PD-1- subgroup. The presence of TLS was characterized by abundance in antitumor immunocytes including activated CD8+ T and B cells as well as dentritic cells in TCGA cohort.

Conclusion: The presence of TLS was an independent favorable factor for patients with stage I LUAD. The presence TLS was featured by special immune profiles which might aid oncologists in determining personalized adjuvant treatment.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are lymphoid formations that develop in non-lymphoid tissues during chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. Accurate identification and quantification of TLS in tissue can provide crucial insights into the immune response of several disease processes including antitumor immune response. TLS are defined as aggregates of T cells, B cells and dendritic cells.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in the tumor microenvironment are prognostically beneficial in many solid cancer types. Reports on TLS in high-grade serous tubo-ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) are few, and the prognostic impact is unclear. We investigated mature TLS (mTLS), immature TLS (iTLS) and lymphoid aggregates (LA) in primary adnexal tumors (PTs) and synchronous omental/peritoneal metastases (pMets) of HGSC.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common digestive cancer in the world. Microsatellite stability (MSS) and microsatellite instability (MSI-high) are important molecular subtypes of CRC closely related to tumor occurrence and progression and immunotherapy efficacy. The presence of CD8 CXCR5 follicular cytotoxic T (T) cells is strongly associated with autoimmune disease and CD8 effector function.

Background: In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most immunogenic breast cancer type, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are an independent prognostic factor. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are an important TILs source, but they are not integrated in the current prognostic criteria.

Methods: In this retrospective study, TLS were assessed in hematein-eosin-saffron-stained (HES) histological sections from 397 early, chemotherapy-naive TNBC samples after primary surgical resection.

Accurate estimation of low frequency modes in power system are very much important for improving small signal stability. The parametric model parameters estimator known as Total least square estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (TLS-ESPRIT) works effectively even in noisy conditions. However, this model parameter estimator requires prior information about numbers of modes of the signal.
