Immunotherapy has shown limited success in recurrent ovarian cancer (OC), with prognostic insights largely derived from treatment-naive tumors. We analyzed 697 tumor samples (566 primary and 131 recurrent) from 595 OC patients across five independent cohorts, capturing tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) heterogeneity and identifying four immune phenotypes linked to prognosis and TIL:myeloid networks driving malignant progression. We found that in preclinical mouse models, mirroring inflamed human OCs, the recurrent Brca1
TL;DR

Findings reveal BRCA-dependent TIL:myeloid crosstalk as key to persistent immunogenicity in recurrent OC and propose new targets to enhance chemotherapy efficacy.
