“Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in HER2-positive breast cancer: potential impact and challenges.

  • sTILs represent an accessible and highly reproducible biomarker.
  • Higher quantities of sTILs are associated with higher rates of pCR in some patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.
  • TILs serve as a positive prognostic indicator of recurrence-free survival in early HER2-positive disease.
  • In metastatic disease, higher sTILs are a positive prognostic indicator for longer PFS.
  • The widespread adoption of sTILs in clinical practice requires additional research.”
