Abstract

Recent advances in the understanding of cancer immunology and T-cell immunoreceptor (TCR) signaling facilitated the development of a new class of anticancer drugs, checkpoint inhibitors (CPI), which have been successfully used for cancer treatment. According to the 2020 Journal of the American Medical Association Network estimate, up to 233,790 US patients with cancer are eligible for CPI. Whereas the CPI blockade of TCR inhibitory signaling pathways can successfully restore or stimulate an antitumor immune response, up to 40% of patients develop immune-related adverse events (irAE) during treatment.
