Immunotherapy in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Bridge Between Research and Clinical Practice

Abstract: Lung cancer has been historically considered a poorly immunogenic disease because of the few evidence of immune responses in affected patients and the limited efficacy of immunomodulating strategies. Recent understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to cancer immune evasion has allowed the development of a new class of drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors, which reactivate host responses with outstanding clinical benefits in a portion of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. In this review, we … Show more

“…This system can not only be used for extensive PD-L1 detection but can also be combined with other biological detection materials for comprehensive analysis. In addition, PD-L1 expression is regulated by multiple mechanisms [92], including the MAPK and PI3K or Akt pathways, transcription factors HIF1, STAT3, and NFkB, and epigenetic factors [93]. Meanwhile, the changes in PD-L1 before and after treatment should be considered in clinical application.…”

“…In recent years, the use of anti-immune checkpoint antibodies has represented a new frontier in the care of several solid tumours such as lung, breast, and prostate tumours [75]. Specifically, therapies that target the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway have shown promising and inspiring effects with remarkably durable responses in lung tumours [7679] and TNBCs [80]. Indeed, numerous Phase I/II clinical trials to test antibodies that target PD-1 or PD-L1 in breast cancer are ongoing [81, 82].…”

“…Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common form of lung cancer (LC) (approximately 85% of all LC cases), consisting of three clinical subtypes: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell cancer [ 1 ]. In recent years, the discovery of some immune checkpoint blockers (ICBs) targeting lung tumors has demonstrated the immunogenic character of NSCLC; these findings have been determined to have survival benefits for patients with NSCLC [ 2 ]. For instance, the survival year was shown to be extended by 1 year in patients with NSCLC who have been treated with nivolumab compared with those treated with traditional platinum-based regimens [ 3 ].…”
