Hyperprogression during anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

TLDR
Hyperprogression was observed in 29% of patients with R/M HNSCC treated with anti-PD-L1/PD-1 agents and correlated with a shorter progression-free survival (PFS), and mechanisms and causality of hyperprogression should further be assessed through prospective controlled studies.

Novel patterns of response under immunotherapy.

TL;DR: Initially reported in advanced melanoma patients, pseudoprogression occurs when tumor index lesions regress after initial progression, supporting the concept of treating some patients beyond progression, and the classic RECIST remains a reasonable and meaningful method to assess response to immunotherapy in the clinic.
