Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy has been highly successful in the treatment of B-cell hematological malignancies. CARs are modular synthetic molecules that can redirect immune cells towards target cells with antibody-like specificity. D…
Checkpoint inhibitors have led to remarkable benefits in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet response rates remain below expectations. High-dimensional analysis and mechanistic experiments in clinical samples and relevant NSCLC models uncovered th…
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapies are now standard-of-care for several B-cell malignancies, and additional indications are being evaluated. In this review, we survey data on how outcomes after CAR-T therapies vary according to age, ra…
In a first for solid cancers, cellular immunotherapy has entered standard of care in the treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma. The infusion of autologous tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TIL) is capable of mediating durable tumor regression…
Cancer immunotherapy—including immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) and adoptive cell therapy (ACT)—has become a standard, potentially curative treatment for a subset of advanced solid and liquid tumors. However, most patients with cancer do…
Objectives
Multiplex immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence (mIHC/IF) are emerging technologies that can be used to help define complex immunophenotypes in tissue, quantify immune cell subsets, and assess the spatial arrangement of marker express…
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of neuroendocrine neoplasm known for its striking initial response to treatment, followed by fast relapse and refractoriness in response to additional lines of therapy. New advances in immunotherapy …
Background
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has emerged as a transformative modality in the treatment of patients with cancer. However, it is increasingly evident that this therapeutic approach is not without its challenges. The unique n…
Oxidative stress, that is, an unbalanced increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), contributes to tumor-induced immune suppression and limits the efficacy of immunotherapy. Cancer cells have inherently increased ROS production, intracellularly throug…
Glioma evolution is governed by a multitude of dynamic interactions between tumor cells and heterogenous neighboring, non-cancerous cells. This complex ecosystem, termed the tumor microenvironment (TME), includes diverse immune cell types that have ga…
