Abstract:Combining immune checkpoint inhibitors, specifically nivolumab (anti-PD-1) and ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4), holds substantial promise in revolutionizing cancer treatment. This review explores the transformative impact of these combinations, emphasizing their potential for enhancing therapeutic outcomes across various cancers. Immune checkpoint proteins, such as PD1 and CTLA4, play a pivotal role in modulating immune responses. Blocking these checkpoints unleashes anticancer activity, and the synergy observed when… Show more
