Abstract: The follicular helper T cell (TFh) is a new subset of CD4+ helper T cells discovered in recent studies. Studies have shown that it  is associated with diseases such as immune diseases, immunodeficiency and poor prognosis of patients with lymphoma. At the same time, there is a close relationship between TFh cells and some nonspecific T cell lymphomas. However, the role of TFh cells in the tumor microenvironment needs to be further studied.  

Key words: Tlymphocytes, Lymphoma
