Immune checkpoint inhibitors in large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma: current status
Introduction Large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (LCNEC) are a group of rare high grade neuroendocrine tumors that often behave clinically like small cell carcinoma (SCLC) and are treated as such. No major advancement in the management of these tumors has occurred in the last 30 years. Methods We present a case series of three cases from Markey Cancer center along with a review of 13 publish...
متن کاملImmune checkpoint inhibitors in renal cell carcinoma
The immune system has long been known to play a critical role in the body's defence against cancer, and there have been multiple attempts to harness it for therapeutic gain. Renal cancer was, historically, one of a small number of tumour types where immune manipulation had been shown to be effective. The current generation of immune checkpoint inhibitors are rapidly entering into routine clinic...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Gastrointestinal Cancers
The expansion of our understanding of tumor immunity and the recent success of new cancer immunotherapy has reignited the hope that we can treat cancer effectively with immunotherapeutic approaches. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown significant efficacy in the treatment of some solid and hematologic malignancies. Encouraged by recent success in some other types of malignancies, many clini...
متن کاملMechanisms of immune evasion and current status of checkpoint inhibitors in non‐small cell lung cancer
In the past several years, immunotherapy has emerged as a viable treatment option for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without actionable driver mutations that have progressed on standard chemotherapy. We are also beginning to understand the methods of immune evasion employed by NSCLC which likely contribute to the 20% response rate to immunotherapy. It is also yet uncl...
متن کاملPulmonary Large-Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma
Lung neuroendocrine tumors are a heterogeneous sub-type of pulmonary cancers representing approximately 20% of all lung cancers, including small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC). The frequency appears to be approximately 3% for LCNEC. Diagnosis of LCNEC requires attention to neuroendocrine features by light microscopy and confirmation by immunohistochemica...
