Unfortunately, a majority of immune checkpoint inhibitor recipients are refractory to the therapy.

Gut bacteria are to blame for the failure of immune checkpoint therapy for ovarian cancer, our Melanie Rutkowski, PhD, has discovered. Her findings could let us turn the failed treatment into a much-needed lifesaver. The problem, she found, comes from an unexpected source: the flagella that bacteria use to move. Figure 1. Milestones in cancer research. (A) Historical milestones in cancer research include discoveries, Nobel Prizes, and FDA approvals.(B) Immune checkpoint blockade with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD1 antibodies acts via T cells.Upon binding to their ligands, checkpoint receptors expressed on T cells, including PD-1 and CTLA-4, mediate suppression of T cell-mediated tumor killing. Introduction: Despite remarkably improved outcomes with immune checkpoint inhibition, many patients with metastatic melanoma will eventually require further therapy. Chemotherapy has limited activity when used first-line but can alter the tumour microenvironment and does improve efficacy when used in combination with immunotherapy in lung cancer.

End of the Road for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Prostate Cancer ... Biology Diagrams

Introduction. Immune system activation is an extremely effective anticancer therapy that has revolutionised oncological clinical practice over the last decade.1 The immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a group of drugs that 'take the brakes' off the normal immune response and facilitate immunological, as opposed to traditional cytotoxic, anti-cancer effects.

This review will focus on three major areas of cell cycle transition control, with particular attention to the alterations found in human cancer. These areas include the G1/S transition, where most cancer‐related defects occur, the G2/M checkpoint and its activation in response to DNA damage, and the spindle checkpoint.

Why Immune Checkpoint Therapy Fails for Ovarian Cancer Biology Diagrams

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab, are associated with high response rates in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). 1, 2 Patients responding to ICI often undergo consolidation with an autologous 3 or allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation (BMT; alloBMT). 4, 5 alloBMT carries significant and well-recognized risks of
