Hypermutated Gliomas Respond Poorly to Immunotherapy

No authors listed. Cancer Discov. 2020 Jul.

Abstract

Unlike melanomas and colorectal cancers with a high tumor mutation burden, hypermutated gliomas generally do not respond to checkpoint blockade, a study concludes. Hypermutation shortens patient survival, and the results suggest that it occurs because of selective pressure from the chemotherapeutic temozolomide.
