Background
Tumor-derived lactate has long been regarded as a metabolic waste product. However, accumulating evidence indicates that lactate also functions as a signaling molecule that actively remodels the tumor immune microenvironment. How lactate-dr…
Background
Long-term survival of extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) remains rare, with most patients experiencing disease progression during maintenance therapy. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have the potential to confer…
Background
Orally administered small-molecule programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors may have the potential to improve patient outcomes in the treatment of a range of cancers compared with their antibody-based counterparts. A small molecule migh…
Background
Deficient DNA mismatch repair/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) cancers are very sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), yet their use is frequently complicated by immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Our study analyz…
Background
Immune checkpoint blockade is minimally active in unselected castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and does not reproducibly yield durable decreases in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.
Methods
The Quick Efficacy Seeking Trial …
Background
Optimal induction chemoimmunotherapy sequential concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) in locally advanced hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) remains undefined. This study aimed to evaluate toripalimab plus chemotherapy sequential c…
Background
Despite the incorporation of atezolizumab, an anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody, into first-line chemotherapy regimen, survival in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) remains poor. Given the role of …
Background
Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is among the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in men worldwide. Treatment options for mCRPC typically include chemotherapy and androgen receptor pathway inhibitors. Immune ch…
Background
Programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) blockade produces high response rates in resectable and locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), but how many doses are needed and whether surgery or radiation after immunotherapy (consol…
Background
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has shown promise in overcoming resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in early-phase cancer trials. We investigated the safety, feasibility and efficacy of FMT from ICI responders to patien…
