Meta-analysis of tumor- and T cell-intrinsic mechanisms of sensitization to checkpoint inhibition

Kevin Litchfield et al.

Summary: Checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) enhance adaptive immunity, with clonal tumor mutation burden (TMB) identified as the strongest predictor of CPI response. Dinucleotide variants may serve as a source of immunogenic epitopes, while copy-number alterations and HLA evolutionary divergence lack pan-cancer significance.

High tumor mutation burden fails to predict immune checkpoint blockade response across all cancer types

D. J. McGrail et al.

Summary: Analysis of over 10,000 patient tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas showed that TMB-H tumors had significantly higher response rates to immune checkpoint blockade in certain cancer types, while showing no significant benefit in others. These results do not support the use of TMB-H as a biomarker for ICB treatment across all solid cancer types, indicating the need for further tumor type-specific studies.

Sex-Based Dimorphism of Anticancer Immune Response and Molecular Mechanisms of Immune Evasion

Fabio Conforti et al.

Summary: This study revealed significant differences in anticancer immune response and immune evasion mechanisms between men and women with NSCLC, with women's tumor microenvironment enriched for various immune cell types and men's showing a T-cell-excluded phenotype.
