Despite its exciting impact, most cancer patients still do not benefit from immunotherapy. We have discovered a strategy used by cancers to avoid detection by the immune system. This work aims to use markers to determine which patients would be more likely to benefit from blocking this pathway in order to improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Using such a tailored approach is expected to enhance responses in a greater number of patients while avoiding the use and costs of ineffective therapies.
