TLDR
In this paper, the potential application of tumor neoantigen burden (TNB) as a biomarker for immunotherapy and other types of therapy was evaluated and the mechanisms involved in TNB were investigated.
Abstract
Immunotherapy has significantly improved the clinical outcome of patients with cancer. However, the immune response rate varies greatly, possibly due to lack of effective biomarkers that can be used to distinguish responders from non-responders. Recently, clinical studies have associated high tumor neoantigen burden (TNB) with improved outcomes in patients treated with immunotherapy. Therefore, TNB has emerged as a biomarker for immunotherapy and other types of therapy. In the present review, the potential application of TNB as a biomarker was evaluated. The methods of neoantigen prediction were summarized and the mechanisms involved in TNB were investigated. The impact of high TNB and increased number of infiltrating immune cells on the efficacy of immunotherapy was also addressed. Finally, the future challenges of TNB were discussed.

Reframing How Physical Activity Reduces The Incidence of Clinically-Diagnosed Cancers: Appraising Exercise-Induced Immuno-Modulation As An Integral Mechanism

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of physical activity on the cancer immunoediting process are discussed. But the extent to which physical activity alters these determinants to reduce the risk of clinically diagnosed cancers and whether physical activity changes these determinant in an interconnected or unrelated manner is unresolved.

The shared frameshift mutation landscape of microsatellite-unstable cancers suggests immunoediting during tumor evolution.

TL;DR: The results show that frameshift mutation frequency is negatively correlated to the predicted immunogenicity of the resulting peptides, suggesting counterselection of cell clones with highly immunogenic frameshIFT peptides.

Neoantigen Load, Antigen Presentation Machinery, and Immune Signatures Determine Prognosis in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

TL;DR: In ccRCC the abundant neoepitopes associated with more effective antitumor immune responses were counterbalanced by a strongly immunosuppressive microenvironment, and blockade of these molecular pathways could be combined with immunotherapies targeting neoantigens to achieve synergistic antitumors activity.

Neoantigens and genome instability: impact on immunogenomic phenotypes and immunotherapy response

TL;DR: An overview of current knowledge regarding the fundamentals of genome replication and of both germline and somatic alterations that disrupt normal replication, leading to various forms of genomic instability in cancers, to the resulting generation of neoantigens and, ultimately, to immune-responsive and resistant phenotypes is provided.
