An Immune-privileged niche mediates immunotherapy resistance in esophageal carcinoma

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Background <p>Neoadjuvant immunotherapy has reshaped the treatment paradigm for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), yet mechanisms of resistance in non-responders remain poorly understood. Specifically, the spatial orchestration of the tumor microenvironment that limits effective antitumor immunity is not fully elucidated.</p> Methods <p>Integrating spatial transcriptomic analysis with large-scale tissue pathology, we mapped the spatial architecture of the immune landscape in immunotherapy-resistant…
