Abstract Tumors can be classified into distinct immunophenotypes based on the presence and arrangement of cytotoxic immune cells within tumor microenvironment (TME). Hot tumors, characterized by heightened activity responsiveness to checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), stand in stark contrast cold which lack infiltration remain resistant therapy. To overcome evasion mechanisms employed cells, novel immunologic modulators have emerged, particularly ICIs targeting T‐lymphocyte‐associated protein 4 (CTLA‐4) programmed cell death 1/programmed death‐ligand 1(PD‐1/PD‐L1). These agents disrupt inhibitory signals reactivate system, transforming tumors hot ones promoting effective antitumor responses. However, challenges persist, including primary resistance immunotherapy, autoimmune side effects, response heterogeneity. Addressing these requires innovative strategies, deeper mechanistic insights, a combination interventions enhance effectiveness immunotherapies. In landscape cancer medicine, where represent formidable hurdle, understanding TME harnessing its potential reprogram is paramount. This review sheds light current advancements future directions quest for more safer treatment offering hope patients with immune‐resistant tumors.

Checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) augment adaptive immunity. Systematic pan-tumor analyses may reveal the relative importance of tumor-cell-intrinsic and microenvironmental features underpinning CPI sensitization. Here, we collated whole-exome transcriptomic data for >1,000 CPI-treated patients across seven tumor types, utilizing standardized bioinformatics workflows clinical outcome criteria to validate multivariable predictors Clonal mutation burden (TMB) was strongest predictor response, followed by total TMB CXCL9 expression. Subclonal TMB, somatic copy alteration burden, histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) evolutionary divergence failed attain pan-cancer significance. Dinucleotide variants were identified as a source immunogenic epitopes associated with radical amino acid substitutions enhanced peptide hydrophobicity/immunogenicity. Copy-number analysis revealed two additional determinants supported prior functional evidence: 9q34 (TRAF2) loss response CCND1 amplification resistance. Finally, single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) clonal neoantigen-reactive CD8 tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), combined bulk RNA-seq CPI-responding tumors, CCR5 CXCL13 T-cell-intrinsic markers sensitivity.

Abstract Lung cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease. Cancer cells and within the tumor microenvironment together determine disease progression, as well response to or escape from treatment. To map cell type-specific transcriptome landscape of their in advanced non-small lung (NSCLC), we analyze 42 tissue biopsy samples stage III/IV NSCLC patients by single RNA sequencing present large scale, resolution profiles NSCLCs. In addition types described previous studies early cancer, are able identify rare tumors such follicular dendritic T helper 17 cells. Tumors different display heterogeneity cellular composition, chromosomal structure, developmental trajectory, intercellular signaling network phenotype dominance. Our study also reveals correlation with associated neutrophils, which might help shed light on function NSCLC.

Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors, including antibodies that block programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) and PD-L1, have transformed the management of many cancers. However, majority patients primary or acquired resistance to these immunotherapies. There is a significant unmet need for predictive biomarkers can reliably identify who derive clinically meaningful response from PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. High tumor mutational burden (TMB-H) has shown promise as biomarker in lung cancer, but broad applicability TMB-H across all solid tumors unclear. The FDA approved PD-1 inhibitor, pembrolizumab, therapy with TMB equal greater than 10 mutations/megabase measured by FoundationOne CDx assay. This approval was based on an exploratory analysis KEYNOTE-158 study, which single-arm, phase II multi-cohort study pembrolizumab select, previously treated advanced tumors. Here, we elucidate caveats using universal threshold While recognize importance this other pan-cancer approvals, several questions about remain unanswered. In perspective, discuss clinical trial evidence area. We review relationship between immune microenvironment. highlight risks extrapolating limited number histologies tumors, propose avenues future research.
