Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) efficacy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is hampered by resistance. Understanding the mechanisms underlying ICI resistance is crucial to improve therapeutic efficacy.
A new study published in Nature identified a distinct macrophage subset that shows increasing abundance as the disease progresses and that is responsible for immunotherapy resistance.
