Immune checkpoint inhibitors are important medications that boost the immune system s response against various cancers, but only certain patients seem to benefit from the drugs. The cancer cells of these patients often have multiple mutations that can be recognized as foreign by the immune system, thereby inducing an inflammatory response.
In an attempt to expand the benefits of immune checkpoint inhibitors for additional patients, a team led by David E.
