Project: Cancer immunotherapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Cancer immunotherapy has garnered tremendous interest in the field of cancer treatment. Development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) showed promising results in solid (lung, melanoma, renal carcinoma…) as well as in hematological tumours and have already been approved by the FDA, so that they can be used in clinical practice. As of now, immunotherapeutic approaches in NSCLC favoured certain groups of patients, while others did not respond, and some developed immune adverse related effects (IARE).
The main objective of our project is to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy in NSCLC by adding immunomodulators as a combination therapy.
