Pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio as a marker of outcomes in nivolumab-treated patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.

TLDR
In a cohort of patients with NSCLC treated with nivolumab in routine practice, pretreatment NLR≥5 was associated with inferior outcomes, and it is unclear whether this marker is predictive or prognostic.

The evolving landscape of biomarkers for checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy

TL;DR: A better understanding of how these variables cooperate to affect tumour–host interactions is needed to optimize the implementation of precision immunotherapy.

Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as prognostic markers in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with nivolumab

TL;DR: Elevated pre-treatment NLR and PLR are associated with shorter OS and PFS and with lower response rates in patients with metastatic NSCLC treated with nivolumab independently of other prognostic factors.

Neutrophil diversity and plasticity in tumour progression and therapy.

TL;DR: The emerging dual role played by neutrophils in the tumour microenvironment is discussed, while also mediating antitumour immune responses, and it is suggested that neutrophil function could be manipulated in myeloid cell-based therapeutic approaches to improve patient outcomes.

Enhancing antitumor response by combining immune checkpoint inhibitors with chemotherapy in solid tumors

TL;DR: Preclinical studies demonstrate that the majority of chemotherapeutic drugs has been shown to exert immunostimulatory effects, either by inhibiting immunosuppressive cells and/or activating effector cells, or by increasing immunogenicity and increasing T-cell infiltration.

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.
