Abstract The tumor microenvironment demonstrates great immunophenotypic heterogeneity, which has been leveraged in traditional immune-hot/cold categorization based on the abundance of intra-tumoral immune cells. By incorporating spatial contexture, immunophenotype was further elaborated into immune-inflamed, immune-excluded, and immune-desert. However, mechanisms underlying these different phenotypes are yet to be comprehensively elucidated. In this review, we discuss how cells interact collectively shape landscape from perspectives cells, extracellular matrix, cancer metabolism, summarize potential therapeutic options according distinct immunophenotypes for personalized precision medicine.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the predominant mesenchymal primary malignant bone tumor in oncology and pathology, impacting a wide age range from adolescents to older adults. It frequently advances lung metastasis, ultimately resulting mortality of OS patients. The precise pathological pathways responsible for progression dissemination are not fully understood due its heterogeneity. integration surgery with neoadjuvant postoperative chemotherapy has significantly increased 5-year survival rate more than 70% patients localized tumors. However, about 30% experience local recurrence and/or metastasis. Hence, there requirement innovative therapeutic approaches address limitations traditional treatments. Immunotherapy garnered increasing attention as promising avenue tumors resistant standard therapies, including OS, despite underlying mechanisms disease remaining well elucidated. may have been suitable use because tumor’s immunosuppressive microenvironment limited immunogenicity. Nevertheless, immune-based treatments now being developed clinical use, such bispecific antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor T cells, immune checkpoint inhibitors.

The cure rate for metastatic or relapsed osteosarcoma has not substantially improved over the past decades despite exploitation of multimodal treatment approaches, allowing long-term survival in less than 30% cases. Patients with often develop resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, where personalized targeted therapies should offer new hope. T cell immunotherapy as a complementary alternative modality is advancing rapidly general, but its potential against remains largely unexplored. Strategies incorporating immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified cells, and engaging bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are being explored tackle refractory osteosarcoma. However, an inherently heterogeneous tumor, both at intra- inter-tumor level, no identical driver mutations. It pro-tumoral microenvironment, bone stromal neovasculature, suppressive mineralized extracellular matrix (ECM) combine derail infiltration anti-tumor function. To realize osteosarcoma, integrated approach targeting this complex ecosystem needs smart planning execution. Herein, we review current status immunotherapies summarize challenges encountered, explore combination strategies overcome these hurdles, ultimate goal curing acute side effects.

Despite advancements multimodal treatment strategies, the prognosis for patients with or recurrent disease has not improved significantly last four decades. OS heterogeneous tumor; its genetic background mechanism of oncogenesis are well defined. Unfortunately, no effective molecular targeted therapy currently available this disease. Understanding osteosarcoma’s tumor microenvironment (TME) recently gained much interest among scientists hoping to provide valuable insights into heterogeneity, progression, metastasis, identification novel therapeutic avenues. Here, we review current understanding TME OS, including different cellular noncellular components, their crosstalk cells, involvement progression metastasis.

Recent progressions in immunotherapy have transformed cancer treatment, providing a promising strategy that activates the immune system of patient to find and eliminate cancerous cells. Bispecific antibodies, which engage two separate antigens or one antigen with distinct epitopes, are tremendous concern immunotherapy. The bi-targeting idea enabled by bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) is especially attractive from medical standpoint since most diseases complex, involving several receptors, ligands, signaling pathways. Several research look into processes BsAbs identify different targets such angiogenesis, reproduction, metastasis, regulation. By rerouting cells altering other pathways, proteins perform effector activities addition those natural antibodies. This opens up wide range clinical applications helps patients resistant tumors respond better medication. Yet, further study necessary best conditions where use these medications for treating tumor, their appropriate combination partners, methods reduce toxicity.
