Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) represents ecosystems of highly diverse tumor microenvironments (TMEs). The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is linked to enhanced immune responses and long-term survival. In this review we present emerging evidence suggesting that cellular crosstalk tightly regulates the distribution of TILs within the TME, underscoring the need to better understand key cellular networks that promote or impede T cell infiltration in OC. We also capture the emergent methodologies and computational techniques that enable the dissection of cell-cell crosstalk. Finally, we present innovative ex vivo TME models that can be leveraged to map and perturb cellular communications to enhance T cell infiltration and immune reactivity.
