BRAF mutation testing for patients diagnosed with stage III or stage IV melanoma: practical guidance for the Australian setting

TL;DR: In this article , the authors recommend that DNA-based BRAF mutation testing always be performed, regardless of whether IHC-based testing is also conducted, and advice about tissue/specimen selection of patients diagnosed with stage III or IV melanoma is also offered.

Clinical Predictors of Response to Anti-PD-1 First-Line Treatment in a Single-Centre Patient Cohort: A Real-World Study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the associations between patients' different clinical features and progression-free survival, using the Cox proportional hazards models, and found an increased risk of disease progression was observed among patients with stage M1d metastases (hazard ratio 3.30; 95% confidence interval 1.58-6.91).

Death and the Miser: microbiota regulate the outcome of checkpoint inhibition immunotherapy.

TL;DR: The immune system’s role in protecting against tumors and the occurrence of cancer could be a reflection of an improperly functioning immune system, which has been a concern for many years.

Association of Rare Immune-Related Adverse Events to Survival in Advanced Cancer Patients Treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Real-World Single-Center Cohort Study

TL;DR: The presence of rare grade ≥ 3 irAEs was associated with a tendency for inferior OS, and the role of ethnicity and sub-population genetics in affecting the immune system in ICI outcomes regarding efficiency and toxicity warrants more research.

Regression Models and Life-Tables

TL;DR: The analysis of censored failure times is considered in this paper, where the hazard function is taken to be a function of the explanatory variables and unknown regression coefficients multiplied by an arbitrary and unknown function of time.

The blockade of immune checkpoints in cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: Preliminary clinical findings with blockers of additional immune-checkpoint proteins, such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1), indicate broad and diverse opportunities to enhance antitumour immunity with the potential to produce durable clinical responses.

Combined Nivolumab and Ipilimumab or Monotherapy in Untreated Melanoma.

TL;DR: Among previously untreated patients with metastatic melanoma, nivolumab alone or combined with ipilimumab resulted in significantly longer progression-free survival than ipILimumab alone, and in patients with PD-L1-negative tumors, the combination of PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockade was more effective than either agent alone.
