A Bibliometric Analysis and Visualization of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in Oncology: Identifying Research Frontiers

Abstract Background: Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are ectopic, non-encapsulated lymphoid tissues that develop at sites of chronic inflammation. In recent years, the critical roles of TLS in tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and therapeutic response have garnered increasing attention, establishing them as a prominent research focus in the field of tumor immunology.
