Abstract
Only a minority of cancer patients respond to anti PD-1 immunotherapy. A recent study demonstrates that PD-1 therapy-resistant melanoma patients present distinct signatures of upregulated genes involved in immunosuppression, angiogenesis, monocyte and macrophage chemotaxis, extracellular matrix remodeling, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Combination targeting of these pathways with PD-1 may help overcome PD-1 resistance, thus producing effective antitumor immunity.Entities:
