Immune evasion mechanisms and immune checkpoint inhibition in advanced merkel cell carcinoma.

abstract：:In many cancers, regulatory T cells (Treg) play a crucial role in suppressing the effector immune response thereby permitting tumor development. Indeed, in mouse models, their depletion can promote the regression of tumors of various origins, including renal cell carcinoma when located subcutaneous (SC). In the presen...
