Purpose
Preoperative characterization of renal mass malignancy, subtype, and immuno-oncologic pathology could inform and improve tailored management decisions. We examine multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for (1) sensitivity to immuno-oncologic markers of t…
Background
Predictive biomarkers for anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy are needed. Here, we validated the role of PD-1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in predicting the development of im…
Background
Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) blockade has shown promising clinical efficacy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet the underlying immunological mechanisms governing response and resistance remain unclear. This study aimed to delin…
Background
Brain metastases (BrM) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) present a significant challenge due to poor prognosis. While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been standard treatments for NSCLC, their efficacy in BrM is variable, emphas…
Background
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a newly identified immunosuppressive regulator, but its mechanism of suppressing antitumor immunity remains ambiguous. This study aims to uncover the underlying mechanism by which PCS…
Background
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) exhibits significant heterogeneity due to morphological changes and tumor microenvironment dynamics, influencing systemic therapy responses. While the role of high-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) in …

Background
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting CD19 achieve remarkable remissions in refractory B cell malignancies, yet deleterious side effects such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) limit their broader application. Current preclinica…
Background
The translational study of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell function, persistence, immunophenotype, and spatial localization after infusion is crucial for understanding factors that influence clinical outcomes. However, research has b…
Background
Only a subset of polymerase epsilon (POLE) mutations is associated with hypermutant phenotype; we hypothesized that only loss-of-proofreading (LOP) POLE mutations are associated with favorable immunotherapy response.
Methods
This retrospec…
