Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized cancer treatment. However, many patients fail to respond to this therapy or experience side effects. Recently, gut microbiota have emerged as a key determinant of ICB efficacy and toxicity, making manipulation of the microbiome a novel therapeutic strategy with which to improve ICB outcomes.
免疫检查点阻断(ICB)已经彻底改变了癌症治疗。然而,许多患者对这种治疗方法没有反应或出现副作用。最近,肠道微生物群已成为 ICB 疗效和毒性的关键决定因素,这使得对微生物组的操纵成为一种改善 ICB 结果的新的治疗策略。
