Resident memory T cells (Trm) are memory T cells that remain in tissue. Here, the authors show that induction of Trm cells is required for control of tumour growth following mucosal vaccination in mice bearing head and neck cancer and that Trm cells in human lung cancer correlates with a better survival.
