The exclusion of T cells from solid tumours is a potentially important mechanism that regulates whether or not cancer patients respond well to checkpoint blocking immunotherapies. Here the authors identify immune phenotypes and mediators of T cell exclusion among ovarian cancer patient samples from the ICON7 phase III trial.
