In this issue of JEM, Robles-Oteiza et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20231106) present compelling evidence linking tumor hypoxia to acquired resistance mechanisms in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatments involving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Their research advocates targeting these hypoxic tumor regions with hypoxia-activated pro-drugs like TH-302, which may substantially delay the onset of resistance and herald a significant advancement in cancer therapy.
在本期《实验医学杂志》中,Robles-Oteiza 等人(https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20231106)提出了令人信服的证据,将肿瘤缺氧与涉及免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)治疗中获得性耐药机制联系起来。他们的研究主张用缺氧激活前药(如 TH-302)靶向这些缺氧肿瘤区域,这可能会大大延迟耐药的发生,并为癌症治疗带来重大进展。
