Immune Checkpoint Blockade across the Cancer Care Continuum

Immunity. 2018 Jun 19;48(6):1077-1080. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2018.06.003.

Abstract

Four studies recently reported in the New England Journal of Medicine highlight advances in treatment with immune checkpoint blockade across the cancer care continuum. These findings demonstrate efficacy of these agents in the treatment of early and late-stage disease, as monotherapy or in combination, and in addition to-or in place of-standard front-line therapy.
