High endothelial venules (HEVs) have been found to play a role in the movement of stem-like CD8+ T cells from the lymph node to tumors in patients receiving immunotherapy. Lucas Blanchard, MS, CNRS-IPBS, Toulouse, France, describes clinical implications of these findings. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy may benefit patients more by optimizing CD8+ T cell response and increasing the presence of HEVs will additionally enhance the recruitment of T cells. This interview took place at the 37th Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy in Cancer (SITC 2022) in Boston, MA.
