Immune responses in genomically simple SWI/SNF-deficient cancers

Amaury Leruste et al.

Summary: Switch/sucrose nonfermentable-deficient cancers may benefit from immune checkpoint blockade, with potential synergistic effects when combined with epidrugs or radiation therapies. This combination approach could target specific therapeutic vulnerabilities in these types of cancers.

Emerging role of SWI/SNF complex deficiency as a target of immune checkpoint blockade in human cancers

Min Zhou et al.

Summary: Mutations in SWI/SNF subunits are linked to a broad spectrum of human cancers and may impact tumorigenesis and cancer therapeutics. There is a lack of reliable biomarkers to predict clinical response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Emerging evidence suggests that SWI/SNF components play novel roles in regulating anti-tumor immunity and can be therapeutically targeted by ICB.

The Challenges of Tumor Mutational Burden as an Immunotherapy Biomarker

Denis L. Jardim et al.

Summary: Tumor mutational burden (TMB) reflects cancer mutation quantity and correlates with better outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, TMB as a biomarker is imperfect and a composite predictor including critical variables is needed.

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

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.

Mature tertiary lymphoid structures predict immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy in solid tumors independently of PD-L1 expression

Lucile Vanhersecke et al.

Summary: The presence of mature tertiary lymphoid structures is associated with improved response to immunotherapy in cancer patients, predicting objective response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival. These findings support the potential use of TLS detection to select patients who are more likely to benefit from immune checkpoint blockade.

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in the immunotherapy era

Sterre T. Paijens et al.

Summary: The success of cancer immune checkpoint blockade has led to increased interest in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) across different cancer types. Single-cell analysis has revealed high cellular heterogeneity in TILs, with distinct patterns of immune activation and exhaustion. While TIL distributions are similar across tumor types, their responses to immunotherapy vary, highlighting the complexity of tumor-immune interactions.
