Immune checkpoint blockade in the treatment of malignant tumor: current statue and future strategies.

TL;DR: A review of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors can be found in this article, where the authors assume that the efficacy of these drugs is related to PD-L 1 expression in tumor tissue, tumor mutation burden (TMB), and other emerging biomarkers.

Seronegative autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy from dual immune checkpoint inhibition in a patient with metastatic melanoma.

TL;DR: A case of seronegative autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy induced by dual immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (ICI) in a patient with metastatic melanoma is reported, highlighting the need to maintain suspicion for this toxicity so that treatment can be rapidly provided to avoid disability.

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.
