主 题:Esophageal cancer Immune landscape Prognosis Immunotherapy
摘 要:Esophageal cancer(EC)seriously threatens human health,and a promising new avenue for EC treatment involves cancer *** improve the efficacy of EC immunotherapy and to develop novel strategies for EC prognosis prediction or clinical treatment,understanding the immune landscapes in EC is *** cells harbor abundant tumor antigens,including tumor-associated antigens and neoantigens,which have the ability to initiate dendritic cell-mediated tumor-killing cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the early stage of cancer *** EC cells battle the immune system,they obtain an ability to suppress antitumor immunity through immune checkpoints,secreted factors,and negative regulatory immune ***-associated fibroblasts also contribute to the immune evasion of EC *** factors of the immune landscape in EC tumor microenvironment are associated with cancer development,patient survival,or treatment *** on the immune landscape,peptide vaccines,adoptive T cell therapy,and immune checkpoint blockade can be used for EC *** strategies are required for better clinical outcome in *** review provides directions to design novel and effective strategies for prognosis prediction and immunotherapy in EC.
