Therapies targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway have transformed head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treatment. However, predicting the response to anti-PD-1 therapy remains a clinical challenge. This study evaluated the functional binding of PD-1 ligands in 29 HNSCC patients and compared it to the standard PD-L1 Combined Positive Score (CPS). The assessment of PD-1 ligands' functionality advances the current ability to predict the response of HNSCC patients to anti-PD-1 therapy.
针对PD-1/PD-L1通路的疗法已经改变了头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)的治疗方式。然而,预测对抗PD-1疗法的反应仍然是一项临床挑战。本研究评估了29例HNSCC患者中PD-1配体的功能结合情况,并将其与标准的PD-L1联合阳性评分(CPS)进行比较。对PD-1配体功能的评估提高了目前预测HNSCC患者对抗PD-1疗法反应的能力。
