Background
Combination immunotherapies such as atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (Atez/Bev) and durvalumab plus tremelimumab (Dur/Tre) improve outcomes in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet systemic immune mechanisms underlying response remain i…
Background
Checkpoint inhibitor-induced liver injury (ChILI) is an immune-related adverse reaction, occurring in patients with cancer receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI). ChILI is currently managed with high doses of corticosteroids which car…
Background
CD8 T cells mediate the effects of cancer immunotherapies. CD8 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with [89Zr]Zr-berdoxam-crefmirlimab enables whole body CD8 cell assessment and has been shown to be safe in Phase I evaluation. The co…
Background
Ferroptosis plays a critical role in immune regulation and tumor microenvironment remodeling. However, its therapeutic potential in enhancing immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) efficacy remains incompletely understood and warrants further in…
Background
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) improve survival in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet current biomarkers such as programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and response criteria (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tu…
Background
Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a fatal complication of advanced cancer with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown promise in systemic disease, but intrathecal ICIs efficacy and imm…
Background
The high mortality rate of patients with colorectal cancer combined with the lack of nontoxic and efficient personalized treatments makes it urgent to develop new targeted therapies for this disease. B7-H3 appears to be a good target, as it…
Background
Neoadjuvant PD-1/PD-L1 blockade yields robust efficacy in advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), yet many patients fail to achieve a complete or major pathologic response. The reasons why some patients experience response but ot…
Background
Insufficient infiltration of CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) critically restricts antitumor immunity and cancer immunotherapy efficacy. The purpose of this study was to identify novel tumor cell-intrinsic regulators of T-ce…
Purpose
This study was conducted to assess the clinical significance of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as predictive biomarkers for the efficacy of PD-(L)1 inhibitor-based treatment in advanced hepatocel…
