Retreatment with anti-PD-1 antibody in non-small cell lung cancer patients previously treated with anti-PD-L1 antibody.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Accumulated evidence has revealed that the dysregulation of micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) may contribute to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). MiR-93, which is a member of the miRNA cluster miR-106b∼25, has been widely studied for its tumor promoting effect on different types of cancers. However, ...
