Genomic and transcriptomic features of response to anti-pd-1 therapy in metastatic melanoma

TL;DR: It is found that overall high mutational loads associate with improved survival, and tumors from responding patients are enriched for mutations in the DNA repair gene BRCA2, suggesting that attenuating the biological processes that underlie IPRES may improve anti-PD-1 response in melanoma and other cancer types.

Clinical impact of COVID-19 on patients with cancer (CCC19): a cohort study.

Nicole M. Kuderer, +239 more
- 20 Jun 2020 - 
TL;DR: The outcomes of a cohort of patients with cancer and COVID-19 are characterised and potential prognostic factors for mortality and severe illness are identified and race and ethnicity, obesity status, cancer type, type of anticancer therapy, and recent surgery were not associated with mortality.
