Abstract

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a fatal cancer type that affects the membranes lining the lungs and is causally associated with asbestos exposure. Despite the effectiveness of conventional anti-cancer treatment, its prognosis remains very poor. We previously demonstrated a significant survival benefit for PD-L1 blockade in preclinical models of MPM. Data from preclinical studies in other tumour models show that anti-PD-L1 and anti-angiogenic therapy can enhance each other’s efficacy, thereby supporting the investigation of combined blockade of PD-L1 and VEGFR2 in MPM.
