Inhibitions of immune checkpoints, including programmed cell death 1-programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-1-PD-L1) axis, cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4, are at the forefront of immunotherapy for small cell lung cancer. However, the survival benefits emerged after three to six months since therapy initiation. A growing body of evidence suggested that the current biomarkers were not consistent and convincing. Here, we review the current biomarkers including PD-L1, tumor mutation burden, DNA damage response pathway. Furthermore, we elucidate the potential biomarkers, such as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, circulating tumor cells. .
免疫检查点的抑制,包括程序性细胞死亡蛋白1-程序性细胞死亡配体1(PD-1-PD-L1)轴、细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关抗原4,处于小细胞肺癌免疫治疗的前沿。然而,生存获益在治疗开始后的三到六个月才显现出来。越来越多的证据表明,目前的生物标志物并不一致且缺乏说服力。在此,我们回顾了当前的生物标志物,包括PD-L1、肿瘤突变负荷、DNA损伤反应途径。此外,我们阐明了潜在的生物标志物,如肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞、循环肿瘤细胞。
