Predictive biomarkers for checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy: The Galectin-3 signature in NSCLCs [PDF]
Checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy is opening a promising scenario in oncology, with objective responses registered in multiple cancer types. However, reliable predictive markers of tumor responsiveness are still lacking.

Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Cancer Therapy [PDF]
Immunologic checkpoint blockade with antibodies that target cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and the programmed cell death protein 1 pathway (PD-1/PD-L1) have demonstrated promise in a variety of malignancies. Ipilimumab (CTLA-4) and pembrolizumab (PD-1) are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of ...

Immune checkpoint blockade in lymphoid malignancies [PDF]
Malignant cells may subvert and escape endogenous host immune surveillance by up‐regulation of immune inhibitory signals known as immune checkpoints. These checkpoints are important therapeutic targets, and antibodies that block checkpoint signaling have shown remarkable efficacy in some solid tumors as well as in some refractory hematologic ...

Corticosteroids and immune checkpoint blockade
Novel immunotherapies acting through immune checkpoint blockade to stimulate the immune response have demonstrated promising outcomes in advanced malignancies [1]. As a result, novel cancer immunotherapy was named a scientific breakthrough of the year in 2013 by Science.

HDAC inhibition potentiates immunotherapy in triple negative breast cancer. [PDF]
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a more aggressive and difficult subtype of breast cancer where responses to chemotherapy occur, but toxicity is significant and resistance often follows. Immunotherapy has shown promising results in various

Cancer therapeutic implications of microRNAs in the regulation of immune checkpoint blockade
Dampening of patients’ immune response to tumor-specific antigens is a major reason for tumor development and progression. Within tumor microenvironment, aberrant expression of immune checkpoints changes T lymphocyte activity, and induces immune ...

Combining targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of metastatic melanoma [PDF]
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and has an incidence that is rising faster than any other solid tumor. Metastatic melanoma treatment has considerably progressed in the past five years with the introduction of targeted therapy (BRAF and MEK ...

Expression of TIM3/VISTA checkpoints and the CD68 macrophage-associated marker correlates with anti-PD1/PDL1 resistance: implications of immunogram heterogeneity. [PDF]
Although immunotherapies have achieved remarkable salutary effects among subgroups of advanced cancers, most patients do not respond. We comprehensively evaluated biomarkers associated with the "cancer-immunity cycle" in the pan-cancer setting in order ...

LAG3-PD-1 Combo Overcome the Disadvantage of Drug Resistance
Although PD-1 blockade therapy has been promising in cancer treatment, only 4% (pancreatic cancer) to 70% (melanoma) of patients have a positive response to this blockade therapy, which is one of its important disadvantages. Therefore, it is important to
