Profiling Circulating T cells and Tumor Landscape for Predicting Responses to PD-1 blockade in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Dutta, N. (2024, September 5). https://gupea.ub.gu.se/handle/2077/81804 Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has significantly improved outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet only a subset of patients achieves durable responses. This underscores the need for effective methods to assess ICB efficacy. This thesis investigates the response to PD-1 blockade in NSCLC patients across stages I to […]
