Abstract

Objective: Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors has revolutionized treatment of advanced cancers. Characterizing biomarkers that predict response to this therapeutic approach is important, as these therapies can have significant toxicities. In some tumor types, such as melanoma, higher numbers of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes are associated with improved response. For endometrial cancer, mismatch repair deficiency is associated with higher numbers of tumor-associated lymphocytes and better response to checkpoint inhibition.
