Spatial immunophenotypes predict response to anti-PD1 treatment and capture distinct paths of T cell evasion in triple negative breast cancer

Only a subset of triple negative breast cancer patients respond to immunotherapy. Here, the authors analysed spatial immune contextures, which can be captured by a gene classifier, in relation to genomic alterations, mechanisms of T cell evasion and response to anti-PD1 treatment.
