Background
Peritoneal metastasis (PM) from gastric cancer (GC) is associated with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. We investigated a novel peritoneal-targeted therapy using CF33-human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS), a chimeric orthopoxvir…
Background
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently used medications in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We comprehensively evaluated the effect of NSAID exposure patterns on immunotherapy outcomes, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and …
Background
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) shows promising clinical benefits in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the relatively low respons…
Background
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved outcomes for several malignancies; however, there remains a lack of accurate, non-invasive methods to assess tumor PD-L1 expression levels and guide immunotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the …
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) and PD-L1 are established biomarkers for guiding immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As ICI use expands into early-stage disease, we explored the feasibility of using …
Background
Oncolytic virotherapy represents a promising anticancer strategy by combining direct tumor lysis with in situ immune activation. However, its efficacy remains limited in immune-cold tumors, which are characterized by poor T-cell infiltratio…
Background
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has demonstrated safety and modest efficacy against diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), a highly aggressive pediatric brain tumor. However, mechanisms of CAR T-cell resistance in DMG settings remai…
Background
OX40, a key co-stimulatory receptor that amplifies T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity, is a promising immunotherapeutic target. Despite most reported OX40 agonists in clinical trials having high affinity, the relationship between affinity …
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…
While cancer immunotherapy has traditionally centered on T cells, accumulating evidence highlights the dual roles of tumor-infiltrating B lymphocytes (TIL-Bs) in both promoting and restraining tumor progression. Within tertiary lymphoid structures (TL…
