Background
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is known for its high antigenic heterogeneity, which undermines the effectiveness of monospecific immunotherapies. Multivalent immunotherapeutic strategies that target multiple tumor antigens simultaneously cou…
Background
Blockade of the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint (ICB) is revolutionizing cancer therapy, but little is known about the mechanisms governing its expression on CD8 T cells. Because PD-1 is induced during activation of…
Background
Patient-derived colorectal cancer (CRC) organoids (PDOs) solely consisting of malignant cells led to major advances in the understanding of cancer treatments. Yet, a major limitation is the absence of cells from the tumor microenvironment, …
Background
To date, evidence on late-onset immune-related adverse events (irAEs) with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is limited to a small number of clinical cases. This study aimed to identify drug- and patient-related characteristics potentiall…
Background
Individuals with a loss-of-function single-nucleotide polymorphism in the gene encoding PTPN22 have an increased risk for autoimmune diseases, and patients with cancer with such alleles may respond better to checkpoint blockade immunotherap…
Background
Cervical cancer remains a global health challenge. The identification of new immunotherapeutic targets may provide a promising platform for advancing cervical cancer treatment.
Objective
This study aims to investigate the role of CUB domai…
Background
In patients with untreated CD20-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a phase 3 trial was carried out to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zuberitamab plus CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone; Hi-CHO…
Background
First-line treatment with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in recurrent and metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) has improved survival. However, the overall response rate with this standard of care regimen (SOC) remains …
Background
Neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved survival outcomes compared with chemotherapy in resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the impact of actionable genomic alterations (AGAs) on the efficacy of neo…
Background
von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) harbors the highest mutational frequency in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Although VHL mutational subtypes exert diverse impacts on the functionality of the VHL protein, the clinical significance of VHL mu…
