Checking Checkpoints for Treating Cancer
Researchers devise strategies to improve checkpoint inhibitor therapy and predict patient response.
Drugs that block checkpoint inhibitors help the immune system combat cancer. Despite promising results in some patients, many people with cancer still fail to respond to this form of immunotherapy or develop resistance leading to cancer relapse. To advance checkpoint inhibitor therapy, researchers are exploring various avenues for improving efficacy and predicting patient sensitivity.
