Abstract
Recent clinical trials have compared the use of different chemotherapeutic regimens as “immune induction therapies” to sensitize cancers to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Cytotoxic drugs reputed to be inducers of immunogenic cell death (ICD) appeared to be particularly efficient for this purpose. A trial published in Nature Medicine by Thibaudin et al. reveals the capacity of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy to sensitize RAS-mutant unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer to ICIs blocking CTLA-4 and PD-L1.
期刊介绍:
OncoImmunology is a dynamic, high-profile, open access journal that comprehensively covers tumor immunology and immunotherapy.
As cancer immunotherapy advances, OncoImmunology is committed to publishing top-tier research encompassing all facets of basic and applied tumor immunology.
The journal covers a wide range of topics, including:
-Basic and translational studies in immunology of both solid and hematological malignancies
-Inflammation, innate and acquired immune responses against cancer
-Mechanisms of cancer immunoediting and immune evasion
-Modern immunotherapies, including immunomodulators, immune checkpoint inhibitors, T-cell, NK-cell, and macrophage engagers, and CAR T cells
-Immunological effects of conventional anticancer therapies.
