“…More recently, molecular classifications have also focused on TME, and gene-expression profiling (GEP) analysis distinguished four immune subtypes of BCa (C1–C4), which differ for behavior and therapy sensitivity, ranging from C2 subtype—immune-infiltrated, associated with longer OS and PFS, and sensitive to ICIs and chemotherapy, to C4 subtype—deprived of CD8 + T-cells, with the worst prognosis, inadequate response to ICIs, sensitive to chemotherapy [ 82 , 83 ]. In CheckMate 275, KEYNOTE-052, Study 1108, and JAVELIN Bladder 100, gene-expression profiling (GEP) analysis showed that expression of immune genes related to γ-IFN correlated with nivolumab, pembrolizumab, durvalumab, and avelumab responses, confirming this group of genes as a critical pathway for innate and adaptive immune responses [ 26 , 30 , 35 , 75 ]. IFN-mediated responses are also induced after DNA-damage response (DDR) gene mutations, which therefore could predict ICIs response [ 75 , 84 , 85 ].…”
