Immuno-oncology therapies have the potential to revolutionize the armamentarium of available cancer treatments. To further improve clinical response rates, researchers are looking for novel combination regimens, with checkpoint blockade being used as a backbone of the treatment. This Review highlights the significance of small molecules in this approach, which holds promise to provide increased benefit to cancer patients.
免疫肿瘤疗法有可能彻底改变现有的癌症治疗方法。为了进一步提高临床反应率,研究人员正在寻找新的联合治疗方案,以检查点封锁作为治疗的基础。本综述强调了小分子在这种方法中的重要性,有望为癌症患者带来更大的益处。
