Abstract

Immunotherapy with agents that block immune checkpoints is a mainstay of therapy for several common tumor types; so far, prostate cancer is not among those treated using this method. The observed lack of activity in prostate cancer is not due to a lack of testing; several agents have been evaluated both alone and in combination. Although several combination strategies show some promise, it appears likely that a greater understanding of the prostate cancer tumor microenvironment and baseline immune response will be required to optimize future treatment strategies.
