Breast cancer TIL scoring is reproducible in liposarcoma and has high interobserver reliability. Radiotherapy was observed to have a limited impact on immune effectors but seemed to have more impact in upregulating immune suppressors, suggesting radiotherapy may contribute to disease control through immunomodulatory effects. Dedifferentiated liposarcoma represents a uniquely responsive subtype.
