摘要
Evidence indicates that lung cancer development is a complex process that involves interactions between tumor cells,stromal fibroblasts,and immune cells.Tumor-infiltrating immune cells play a significant role in the promotion or inhibition of tumor growth.As an integral component of the tumor microenvironment,tumor-infiltrating B lymphocytes(TIBs)exist in all stages of cancer and play important roles in shaping tumor development.Here,we review recent clinical and preclinical studies that outline the role of TIBs in lung cancer development,assess their prognostic significance,and explore the potential benefit of B cell-based immunotherapy for lung cancer treatment.
