Abstract 5210: Tumor immune characterization identifies age-stratified biomarkers for nivolumab in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: A nationwide collaborative study in Japan
Abstract:Background: Biomarkers predicting therapeutic response to immunotherapy have been widely explored via monitoring the liquid and tissue-derived components. Increasing treatment options for recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) mandates prediction of the therapeutic response of anti-PD-1 antibody alone as well as optimization of the treatment sequence. In view of improving biomarkers predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy for R/M HNSCC, we hypothesized that biomarkers can be pe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
