Elevated expression of B7 homolog 4 is associated with disease progression in upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma

Tomoya Mizuno et al.

Summary: The study found that in UTUC patients, the expression of B7-H4 in the tumor microenvironment is related to tumor progression, response to chemotherapy, and overall survival. The expression of CD8 and TIA-1 also influences patient response to chemotherapy and survival.

A feasibility study of preoperative pembrolizumab before radical nephroureterectomy in patients with high-risk, upper tract urothelial carcinoma: PURE-02

Andrea Necchi et al.

Summary: The study found that single-agent neoadjuvant pembrolizumab did not appear to be a promising treatment strategy for patients with biomarker-unselected, high-risk localized UTUC.

B7-H7 (HHLA2) inhibits T-cell activation and proliferation in the presence of TCR and CD28 signaling

Sadiye Amcaoglu Rieder et al.

Summary: B7-H7 induced transcriptomic changes are insufficient to support full costimulation with TCR signaling, inhibiting T-cell activation and proliferation in the presence of TCR and CD28 signaling.

European Association of Urology Guidelines on Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: 2020 Update

Morgan Roupret et al.

Summary: The updated EAU guidelines on UTUC aim to assist clinicians in evidence-based management, providing recommendations on diagnosis, risk stratification, radical and conservative treatment, and prognostic factors. Due to the rarity of UTUC, there is insufficient data to provide strong recommendations. Recommendations are based on the 2017 TNM classification and emphasize individualized treatment based on proposed risk stratification.

Increased expression of adenosine 2A receptors in metastatic renal cell carcinoma is associated with poorer response to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents and anti-PD-1/Anti-CTLA4 antibodies and shorter survival

Takao Kamai et al.

Summary: In patients with metastatic RCC, high expression of A2AR in primary tumors was associated with metastatic profiles. Patients treated with anti-PD-1 antibody or a combination of anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA4 antibodies, or anti-VEGF agents showed better response and longer overall survival if the primary tumor had higher PD-L1 expression and lower A2AR expression.

The Positive and Negative Immunoregulatory Role of B7 Family: Promising Novel Targets in Gastric Cancer Treatment

Nadia Bolandi et al.

Summary: Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of death globally, despite a stable reduction in its incidence. Poor response to common treatments and late diagnosis make it a lethal cancer. The emerging use of immunotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors has changed the landscape of treatment for gastric cancer patients, with the manipulation of signals from the B7 family showing significant potential in management.

KIR3DL3 Is an Inhibitory Receptor for HHLA2 that Mediates an Alternative Immunoinhibitory for Pathway to PD1

Rupal S. Bhatt et al.

Summary: The study identified KIR3DL3 as an inhibitory receptor for HHLA2, suggesting that blocking both PD1 and KIR3DL3 pathways may be a more effective way to reverse tumor immune evasion.

Prognostic role of stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in locally advanced upper tract urothelial carcinoma: A retrospective multicenter study (TSU-02 study)

Sida Cheng et al.

Summary: sTIL serves as a prognostic biomarker in locally advanced UTUC, with high sTIL density positively correlated with the expression levels of PD-1/PD-L1/CD8 axis. Exposure to aristolochic acid (AA) was associated with increased sTIL and elevated PD-L1 expression, suggesting AA-related UTUC might be a distinct subgroup with unique tumor microenvironment characteristics.
