For example, there are new cutting-edgedrugsdesigned specifically to treat tumors with certain gene mutations. For some types of cancer, there is just one gene that can help with treatment planning. For others, there are several. Some common mutations include EGFR and PDL1 forlung cancer; and...
Although there are some data to suggest that objective response rates with nivolumab, either as monotherapy or in combination with ipilimumab, are highest in patients with positive PDL1 expression in NSCLC and melanoma, the absence of this marker is not an indication that patients will fail to ...
In addition to CTLA-4, numerous other immune checkpoints exist that are potential targets for immunotherapy [9,10]. For example, interaction of the programmed death 1 (PD1) receptor with its ligands (PDL1 and PDL2) in peripheral sites leads to T-cell inactivation and loss of effector functi...
1. Introduction Breast cancer (BC) is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer mortality for women, accounting for 685,000 deaths worldwide in 2020. Globally, breast cancer is responsible for one in four cancer cases and one in six cancer deaths in women [1]. Although...
Among the 86 patients assessed for PDL1 expression, objective response was seen in 48% of those who were PDL1 negative whereas the response rate was 42% for the overall population. Similarly, response was seen in 42% of the low tumor mutational burden group whereas the response was 40% in...
Response to traditional CPIs, which reverse T-cell exhaustion, is contingent on a pre-existing antitumor T-cell response in order to be effective. Thus, traditional CPIs work poorly in immunologically quiet malignancies such as breast, pancreatic, prostate, and microsatellite-stable colon cancer. Enc...
Bcl-6+FoxP3+ Treg cells strongly express coinhibitory protein PD-1. In mice, B cell lymphoma (Bcl) 6 deficiency in Foxp3+ Tregs aggravates experimental Sjögren’s syndrome, but at the same time it enhances immunity to an influenza virus [39]. In breast cancer, Bcl+FoxP3+ Treg cells...

1. Introduction Lung cancer remains the most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide with more than a million deaths per year [1]. It is divided into non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for 80–85% of cases, and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Although tobacco is the ...
