    High-grade serous ovarian cancer shows poor response to immune checkpoint inhibitors due to incomplete understanding of immune resistance mechanisms.

  • 2

    Follicular T cell subsets play a crucial role in regulating B-cell activation and shaping the immune microenvironment in ovarian cancer.

  • 3

    Dysregulation of the follicular T cell axis, particularly an elevated Tfr/Tfh ratio, may lead to immune suppression and resistance to immunotherapy.

  • 4

    Therapeutic strategies targeting follicular T cell responses include immune checkpoint modulation and engineered cell-based therapies.

  • 5

    Follicular immune features may serve as potential biomarkers for predicting immunotherapy response and patient stratification in ovarian cancer.
