abstract = {Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are known to mediate
potent anti-tumour activity. As T-cell-based therapies start
to reach clinical practice, it becomes increasingly
important to understand what characterizes a successful
anti-tumour T-cell response and to exploit this knowledge
for patient stratification. Next-generation sequencing of
T-cell receptors (TCRs) promises to provide insights into
the complexity of the tumour T-cell infiltrate that go
beyond the phenotypic level. A recent study by Chen et al
made use of this novel technology to demonstrate that the
TIL repertoire of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma
patients is distinct from that of non-tumour sites and is
characterized by significant intratumoural heterogeneity.
This study illustrates the great potential of the method and
addresses several technical and biological hurdles that need
to be considered. Careful sampling, normalization, and error
correction will be required to optimally use TCR sequencing
to answer biological questions and define predictive
biomarkers, e.g. for cancer immunotherapy. Copyright © 2016
