Monitoring systemic immune responses to checkpoint inhibition in breast cancer reveals host responses and mechanisms of resistance

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Background <p>Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have improved survival in various cancers, but their success in breast cancer, specifically triple-negative breast cancer, remains limited, benefiting less than 10% of patients.</p> Methods <p>We modeled ICI response in vivo to unravel the mechanisms underlying immunotherapy efficacy, identify mechanisms of resistance in non-responsive tumors, and ascertain the therapeutic benefits of different chemotherapeutic combinations with…
