Abstract
In gynecological cancers tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and upregulation of immune-related gene signatures have been associated with a better prognosis. Knowledge of tumor immunogenicity and associated gene signatures suggests that the tumor immune landscape is a key determinant to define patient prognosis and potentially to predict response to immune-checkpoint inhibitors. The aim of this review is to give an overview of immune gene signatures across gynecology histological cancer types, defining their prognostic and potential predictive role. In the current review we will present data on these gene signatures, on immunohistochemical features and their potential importance to select patients potentially eligible to trials with immune-checkpoint inhibitors.
