Immunotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
AbstractSquamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is characterized by an immunosuppressive environment and evades immune responses through multiple resistance mechanisms. A breakthrough in cancer immunotherapy employing immune checkpoint inhibitors has evolved into a number of clinical trials with antibodies against programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), its ligand PD-L1 and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. CheckMate141 and KEYNOTE-048 were practice-changing randomized phase 3 trials for patients with platinum-refractory and platinum-sensitive ...

Does Xylinas ’ nomogram accurately predict intravesical recurrence risk after radical nephroureterectomy for primary upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma when applied to Asian populations?
ConclusionsThis nomogram appears accurate at predicting intravesical recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy for primary urinary tract urothelial carcinoma in Asian populations. However, it remains necessary to data mine for unknown prognostic factors for optimization. Further external validation is required across larger, ethically diverse populations before applying this nomogram in clinical practice. (Source: Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology)
