Oncogenic signaling pathways associated with immune evasion and resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are novel class of anti-cancer drugs that exhibit significant therapeutic effects even in patients with advanced-stage cancer. However, the efficacy of ICIs is limited due to resistance. Therefore, appropriate biomarkers to select patients who are likely to respond to these drugs as well as combination therapy to overcome the resistance are urgently necessary. Cancer is caused by various genetic alterations...
