Immune checkpoint blockade therapy can elicit robust and durable responses in a variety of cancer types. While many patients do not respond, recent reports highlight a distinct group of patients whose tumors undergo rapid growth, leading to progressive disease and poor outcome. In this perspective, we synthesize and summarize some important issues surrounding hyperprogression, defining characteristics, prognostic implications, and controversies.
免疫检查点阻断疗法可以在多种癌症类型中引发强烈和持久的反应。虽然许多患者没有反应,但最近的报告强调了一个独特的患者群体,他们的肿瘤会迅速生长,导致疾病进展和预后不良。在这个观点中,我们综合和总结了一些围绕超进展的重要问题,包括定义特征、预后意义和争议。
