Assessment of the immune response to tumors is growing in importance as the prognostic
implications of this response are increasingly recognized, and as immunotherapies are
evaluated and implemented in different tumor types. However, many different approaches
can be used to assess and describe the immune response, which limits efforts at
implementation as a routine clinical biomarker. In part 1 of this review, we have proposed a
standardized methodology to assess tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in solid tumors …
