Immunotherapy in Gastrointestinal Cancers
Gastrointestinal cancers represent a major public health problem worldwide. Immunotherapeutic strategies are currently under investigation in this setting and preliminary results of ongoing trials adopting checkpoint inhibitors are striking. Indeed, although a poor immunogenicity for GI has been reported, a strong biological rationale supports the development of immunotherapy in this field. The...
متن کاملCurrent Status and Perspective of Immunotherapy in Gastrointestinal Cancers
Cancer immunotherapy is at dawn of the Renaissance after the Medieval Dark Ages. Recent advances of understanding tumor immunology and molecular drug development are leading us to the epoch of cancer immunotherapy. Some types of immunotherapy have shown to provide survival benefit for patients with solid tumors such as malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, or non-small cell lung cancer. Sev...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for Lung Cancers
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although treatment methods in surgery, irradiation, and chemotherapy have improved, prognosis remains unsatisfactory and developing new therapeutic strategies is still an urgent demand. Immunotherapy is a novel therapeutic approach wherein activated immune cells can specifically kill tumor cells by recognition of tumor-associa...
متن کاملPD-1/PD-L blockade in gastrointestinal cancers: lessons learned and the road toward precision immunotherapy
Gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies are the most prevalent tumors worldwide, with increasing incidence and mortality. Although surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and molecular targeted therapy have led to significant advances in the treatment of GI cancer patients, overall survival is still low. Therefore, alternative strategies must be identified to improve patient outcomes. In the...
متن کاملToward cell transfer immunotherapy against patient-specific mutations in gastrointestinal cancers
Accumulating evidence suggests that the efficacy of ACT in melanoma is mediated by T cells that target somatic mutations expressed by the patients’ tumors. Moreover, in one patient with metastatic epithelial (bile duct) cancer, we recently identified tumor-infiltrating Th1 cells that specifically recognized a mutation in ERBB2IP expressed by the patient’s tumors and observed tumor regression af...
