Angiogenesis and Pancreatic Cancer: Novel Approaches to Overcome Treatment Resistance.

Pancreatic cancer (PCa) is acknowledged as a significant contributor to global cancer- related mortality and is widely recognized as one of the most challenging malignant diseases to treat. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which is the most common type of PCa, is highly aggressive and is mostly incurable. The poor prognosis of this neoplasm is exacerbated by the prevalence of angiogenic molecules, which contribute to stromal stiffness and immune escape. PDAC overexpresses various proangiogenic proteins, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A, and the levels of these molecules correlate with poor prognosis and treatment resistance. Moreover, VEGF-targeting anti-angiogenesis treatments are associated with the onset of resistance due to the development of hypoxia, which in turn induces the production of angiogenic molecules. Furthermore, excessive angiogenesis is one of the hallmarks of the second most common form of PCa, namely, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET). In this review, the role of angiogenesis regulators in promoting disease progression in PCa, and the impact of these molecules on resistance to gemcitabine and various therapies against PCa are discussed. Finally, the use of anti-angiogenic agents in combination with chemotherapy and other targeted therapeutic molecules is discussed as a novel solution to overcome current treatment limitations in PCa.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Metastatic Without Oncogenic Alterations.

This overview provides a thorough review of current treatment approaches for first-line management of nononcogenic addicted non-small cell lung cancer. We also address pertinent clinical decision-making queries encountered in everyday practice, such as the optimal treatment strategy for PD-L1-high patients, predictive factors for response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) both in terms of patient and cancer characteristics, the potential benefits of dual checkpoint blockade, and the unresolved issue of safe discontinuation strategies for long-term responders. Around one in five patients falls into this latter category while the majority develop either primary or acquired resistance to ICI-based first-line therapy, necessitating effective subsequent lines of treatment. Docetaxel, with or without combination of antiangiogenic agents, serves as the backbone of treatment, although evidence in the post-ICI setting is limited. Given that an inflamed tumor microenvironment (TME) is crucial for ICI responses, targeting the TME in cases of acquired resistance alongside continued ICI administration appears rational, although clinical trials so far have failed to confirm this hypothesis. Antibody-drug conjugates have emerged as a promising treatment modality, offering the potential for reduced toxicity and improved efficacy by targeting specific cancer antigens. Moreover, several chemotherapy-free approaches are currently under investigation for treatment-naïve patients, including alternative ICI and drugs targeting epitopes on both cancer and immune cells.

Angiogenesis Still Plays a Crucial Role in Human Melanoma Progression.

Angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in tumor progression, particularly in melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the intricate interplay between angiogenesis and tumor microenvironment (TME) in melanoma progression. Pro-angiogenic factors, including VEGF, PlGF, FGF-2, IL-8, Ang, TGF-β, PDGF, integrins, MMPs, and PAF, modulate angiogenesis and contribute to melanoma metastasis. Additionally, cells within the TME, such as cancer-associated fibroblasts, mast cells, and melanoma-associated macrophages, influence tumor angiogenesis and progression. Anti-angiogenic therapies, while showing promise, face challenges such as drug resistance and tumor-induced activation of alternative angiogenic pathways. Rational combinations of anti-angiogenic agents and immunotherapies are being explored to overcome resistance. Biomarker identification for treatment response remains crucial for personalized therapies. This review highlights the complexity of angiogenesis in melanoma and underscores the need for innovative therapeutic approaches tailored to the dynamic TME.

Efficacy and safety profile of combining antiangiogenic agents with chemotherapy in patients with advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Several prospective trials had been reported on chemotherapy with or without antiangiogenic agents in patients with advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), with diverse results. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen. We systematically identified trials in several databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ASCO Abstracts and ESMO Abstracts. All the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about chemotherapy combined with antiangiogenic agents in advanced MPM were identified. Overall survival (OS) was the primary outcome, while progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR) and serious toxicities were the secondary outcomes. Review Manager 5.3 was used to perform the statistical analyses. Stata 12.0 was used to assess the publication bias of egger's test. 5 randomized controlled trials containing 1250 patients were finally included in this analysis. Statistical analyses showed that the addition of antiangiogenic agents to chemotherapy could prolong OS [HR 0.79 (0.71-0.89), p<0.0001] and PFS [HR 0.75 (0.68-0.84), p<0.00001] in advanced MPM, especially in the epithelioid subgroup, with a tolerable toxicity profile. No significant difference was found in the analysis of ORR [HR 1.13 (0.95-1.35), p = 0.18]. Heterogeneity was found in the analyses of PFS and ORR, which might be caused by the limitation in uniform evaluation of tumor response. The combination of antiangiogenic agents with chemotherapy showed superior over chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced MPM. More prospective trials should be warranted to identify patients who would most likely benefit from the combination regimen.

MAIT cells confer resistance to Lenvatinib plus anti-PD1 antibodies in hepatocellular carcinoma through TNF-TNFRSF1B pathway

The combination of antiangiogenic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors is more efficient than monotherapy in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Lenvatinib plus anti-PD1 antibodies have become the mainstay in HCC treatment. However, more than half the patients with HCC are non-responsive, and the mechanisms underlying drug resistance are unknown. To address this issue, we performed single-cell sequencing on samples from six HCC patients, aiming to explore cellular signals and molecular pathways related to the effect of lenvatinib plus anti-PD1 antibody treatment. GSVA analysis revealed that treatment with lenvatinib plus anti-PD1 antibody led to an increase in the TNF-NFKB pathway across all immune cell types, as compared to the non-treatment group. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells were found to secrete TNF, which activates TNFRSF1B on regulatory T cells, thereby promoting immunosuppression. Additionally, TNFSF9 was highly expressed in anticancer immune cells, including CD8+ effector T cells, MAIT, and γδ T cells in the treatment group. We also detected CD3+ macrophages in both HCC and pan-cancer tissues. Overall, our findings shed light on the potential mechanisms behind the effectiveness of lenvatinib plus anti-PD1 antibody treatment in HCC patients. By understanding these mechanisms better, we may be able to develop more effective treatment strategies for patients who do not respond to current therapies.

Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Role for Angiogenesis Markers in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Narrative Review.

Despite refinements to diagnostic and therapeutic approaches over the last two decades, the outcome of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has not shown substantial improvements, especially regarding those with advanced-stage disease. Angiogenesis is believed to be a turning point in the development of solid tumors, being a premise for mass growth and potential distant dissemination. Cancer-induced angiogenesis is a result of increased expression of angiogenic factors, decreased expression of anti-angiogenic factors, or a combination of both. The assessment of angiogenesis has also emerged as a potentially useful biological prognostic and predictive factor in HNSCC. The aim of this review is to assess the level of current knowledge on the neo-angiogenesis markers involved in the biology, behavior, and prognosis of HNSCC. A search (between 1 January 2012 and 10 October 2022) was run in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science electronic databases. After full-text screening and application of inclusion/exclusion criteria, 84 articles are included. The current knowledge and debate on angiogenesis in HNSCC presented in the eligible articles are stratified as follows: (i) diagnostic markers; (ii) prognostic markers; (iii) predictive markers; and (iv) markers with a potential therapeutic role. Angiogenesis is a biological and pathological indicator of malignancies progression and has negative implications in prognosis of some solid tumors; several signals capable of tripping the "angiogenic switch" have also been identified in HNSCC. Although several studies suggested that antiangiogenic agents might be a valuable adjunct to conventional chemo-radiation of HNSCC, their long-term therapeutic value remains uncertain. Further investigations are required on combinations of antiangiogenic agents with conventional chemotherapeutic ones, immunotherapeutic and molecularly targeted agents in HNSCC. Additional data are necessary to pinpoint which patients could benefit most from these treatments.

Combinations of Anti-Angiogenic Agents and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Best Option?

Over the past decade, major advances have been made in the treatment of advanced and metastatic renal cell carcinomas, specifically clear cell carcinomas. For many years the optimal approach was sequential; thus, monotherapies [principally tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)] targeting angiogenesis until toxicity or progressive disease developed. The rationale was the common mechanisms of action of the targeting agents and avoidance of the risk of overlapping toxicities. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective monotherapies, and combinations thereof with anti-angiogenic agents were thus later considered. Synergistic interactions were reported in vitro. Clinical efficacy was evident in three pivotal phase III trials with axitinib-pembrolizumab, cabozantinib-nivolumab, and lenvatinib-pembrolizumab combinations. Two other combinations showed interesting results but did not improve overall survival. However, the data aided our understanding of the new therapeutic approaches. A combination of the ICIs nivolumab and ipilimumab was the first to evidence better progression-free and overall survival compared to sunitinib in patients with intermediate or unfavourable prognoses as evaluated by the International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC). Here we focus on the TKI-ICI combinations, emphasising the rationale of their use and the clinical results. To date, no biomarker facilitating the selection of an optimal treatment by disease and patient status has been reported.

Efficacy and safety of antiangiogenic agents or chemotherapy plus EGFR-TKIs in advanced non-small cell lung cancer: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

The combination of antiangiogenic agents with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) and chemotherapy with EGFR-TKIs are the most common combination treatment options in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This network meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the differences between them. We searched the PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register up to August 2022. The primary outcomes were progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR) and adverse events (AEs). The data of hazard ratio (HR) or risk ratio (RR) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted in the studies. A network meta-analysis (NMA) was used to indirectly compare the efficacy and safety of antiangiogenic agents plus EGFR-TKIs and chemotherapy plus EGFR-TKIs. Pooled data of included studies were demonstrated that chemotherapy plus EGFR-TKIs had a benefit in ORR compared to antiangiogenic agents plus EGFR-TKIs in patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC (RR=1.1, 95% CI: 1.0-1.2). However, there were no significant differences in PFS, OS and DCR between in the two group (PFS: HR=1.0, 95% CI: 0.74-1.6; OS: HR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.45-1.5; DCR: RR=1.0, 95% CI: 0.94-1.1). The common treatment-related AEs in the two groups were relatively manageable. Based on the efficacy and safety, the combination of chemotherapy with EGFR-TKIs is considered the best combination treatment options in advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutation.

Recent advances of nanomaterial-based anti-angiogenic therapy in tumor vascular normalization and immunotherapy.

Anti-angiogenesis therapy and immunotherapy are the first-line therapeutic strategies for various tumor treatments in the clinic, bringing significant advantages for tumor patients. Recent studies have shown that anti-angiogenic therapy can potentiate immunotherapy, with many clinical trials conducted based on the combination of anti-angiogenic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, currently available clinical dosing strategies and tools are limited, emphasizing the need for more improvements. Although significant progress has been achieved, several big questions remained, such as how to achieve cell-specific targeting in the tumor microenvironment? How to improve drug delivery efficiency in tumors? Can nanotechnology be used to potentiate existing clinical drugs and achieve synergistic sensitization effects? Over the recent few years, nanomedicines have shown unique advantages in antitumor research, including cell-specific targeting, improved delivery potentiation, and photothermal effects. Given that the applications of nanomaterials in tumor immunotherapy have been widely reported, this review provides a comprehensive overview of research advances on nanomaterials in anti-angiogenesis therapy, mainly focusing on the immunosuppressive effects of abnormal tumor vessels in the tumor immune microenvironment, the targets and strategies of anti-angiogenesis nanomedicines, and the potential synergistic effects and molecular mechanisms of anti-angiogenic nanomedicines in combination with immunotherapy, ultimately providing new perspectives on the nanomedicine-based synergy between anti-angiogenic and immunotherapy.

Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab combination therapy for adult patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT Introduction The treatment landscape of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has significantly evolved in recent years with the advent and approval of multiple combinations of anti-angiogenic agents with immune checkpoint inhibitors, of which the combination of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab is the most recent to be incorporated into clinical practice. Areas covered Herein, we provide an overview of the combination of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab in metastatic RCC, including the mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety profile. Expert opinion Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab has demonstrated substantial efficacy in patients with metastatic RCC in the first-line and refractory treatment setting with the highest reported results of radiological responses, complete responses, and progression free survival compared to all other RCC treatments. However, the field is currently still limited with the limited availability of biomarkers to inform on treatment selection and the lack of head-to-head studies across the effective RCC treatments. Ongoing and future studies are eagerly anticipated to uncover multiple unmet needs in RCC.

Angiogenesis in NENs, with a focus on gastroenteropancreatic NENs: from biology to current and future therapeutic implications.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are highly vascularized malignancies arising from cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. An intricated cross-talk exists between NEN cells and the tumor microenvironment, and three main molecular circuits (VEGF/VEGFR pathway, FGF-dependent signaling and PDGF/PDGFR axis) have been shown to regulate angiogenesis in these neoplasms. Multiple randomized trials have investigated antiangiogenic agents over the past two decades, and sunitinib is currently approved for the treatment of advanced, progressive, G1/G2 pancreatic NENs. In recent years, two phase III clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of surufatinib, a multi-tyrosine kinase angioimmune inhibitor, in patients with well-differentiated pancreatic and extrapancreatic NENs, and two studies of this agent are currently underway in Europe and US. The HIF-2α inhibitor belzutifan has recently received regulatory approval for the treatment of tumors arising in the context of Von-Hippel Lindau syndrome including pancreatic NENs, and a study of this drug in patients with sporadic tumors is presently ongoing. Combinations of antiangiogenic agents with chemotherapeutics and targeted drugs have been tested, with accumulating toxicities being a matter of concern. The potential of antiangiogenic agents in fine-tuning the immune microenvironment of NENs to enhance the activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors has been only partially elucidated, and further research should be carried out at this regard. Here, we review the current understanding of the biology of angiogenesis in NENs and provide a summary of the latest clinical investigations on antiangiogenic drugs in this malignancy.

The exploration of three different treatment models of osimertinib plus antiangiogenic agents in non-small cell lung cancer: A real-world study.

BackgroundReal‐world application of osimertinib with antiangiogenic agents in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is common, but the efficacy data are rarely reported.MethodsTo obtain an objective efficacy report of different real‐world treatment models of osimertinib and antiangiogenic agents.ResultsA total of 54 patients with NSCLC were enrolled into the study. Twelve (22.2%) who received a combination of antiangiogenic agents, when there was a trend of osimertinib resistance but did not reach imageology progressive disease (PD), were assigned to Group A, with a median overall survival (OS) and progression‐free survival (PFS) of 48.0 (95% CI, not reached) and 21.0 (95% CI: 16.7–25.3) months, respectively. Thirty (55.6%) who received a combination of antiangiogenic agents when there was imageology PD during treatment with osimertinib were assigned to Group B, with a median OS and PFS of 31.8 (95% CI: 26.6–37.1) and 9.2 (95% CI: 5.9–12.6) months, respectively. Twelve (22.2%) who received a combination of antiangiogenic agents at the initial treatment with osimertinib were assigned to Group C, with a median OS and PFS of 28.5 (95% CI: 15.2–41.8) and 15.3 (95% CI: 7.9–22.7) months, respectively. Patients in Group A achieved a significant prolonged median PFS (p < 0.001) compared with Groups B and C. Absence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutations (p = 0.043; hazard ratio [HR] = 2.124, 95% CI: 1.023–4.413) and no previous antiangiogenic agent application (p = 0.012; HR = 0.362, 95% CI: 0.163–0.863) were the independent prognostic factors of OS.ConclusionThe well‐timed action to combine antiangiogenic agents was when there was a trend of osimertinib resistance. The absence of EGFR T790M mutations and previous use of antiangiogenic agents were poor prognostic factors.

Facts and Hopes for Immunotherapy in Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Immunotherapy has made a significant impact in many tumors, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). RCC has been known to be immunoresponsive since the cytokine era of IFNα and IL2, but only a small number of patients had durable clinical benefit. Since then, discoveries of key tumor drivers, as well as an understanding of the contribution of angiogenesis and the tumor microenvironment (TME), has led to advances in drug development, ultimately transforming patient outcomes. Combinations of anti-angiogenic agents with immune checkpoint inhibitors are now standard of care. Current challenges include patient selection for immunotherapy combinations, resistance acquisition, and optimally sequencing therapies. Further discoveries about RCC biology, the TME, and resistance mechanisms will likely pave the way for the next generation of therapies.

Current Therapy for Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer: Evidence, Opportunities, and Challenges.

Management of metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is evolving as new systemic therapies have led to improvements in survival, and as advances in locoregional therapy and the increased numbers of patients with HPV-associated cancers who develop oligometastases raise the possibility of ablation of limited numbers of metastases. We review the data regarding first-line immunotherapy in PD-L1-expressing metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, the experience with aggressive local management of oligometastases, and promising novel immunotherapies, targeted therapies, and HPV-specific treatments. For patients with metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that is PD-L1 expressing, first-line systemic therapy is pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. Inclusion of chemotherapy is associated with higher objective response proportion in all biomarker subgroups and may have a greater impact on survival in HPV-associated cancers. For patients with oligometastatic disease, particularly when metastases are metachronous, current evidence supporting the role of local ablation is limited to a small number of retrospective studies. Based on retrospective data, patients with a smaller number of metastases, lung metastases, and/or virally associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are most likely to benefit from an aggressive ablative approach. Additionally, we review emerging evidence for targeted therapy in metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, including with agents that inhibit mutant HRAS or NOTCH1, or overexpressed EGFR. Studies of antiangiogenic agents in combination with immune checkpoint blockade, and combination immunotherapy, are also under study.

Phase IB study of ziv-aflibercept plus pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors

BackgroundThe combination of antiangiogenic agents with immune checkpoint inhibitors could potentially overcome immune suppression driven by tumor angiogenesis. We report results from a phase IB study of ziv-aflibercept plus pembrolizumab...

Combination of Anti-Angiogenics and Checkpoint Inhibitors for Renal Cell Carcinoma: Is the Whole Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts?

Simple SummaryCheckpoint inhibitors and anti-angiogenic therapies are treatments that slow the progression of renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer. Checkpoint inhibitors and anti-angiogenic therapies work in different ways. Checkpoint inhibitors help to prevent tumors from hiding from the body’s immune system, while anti-angiogenic therapies slow the development of blood vessels that tumours need to help them to grow. Studies have shown that treatment with combination checkpoint inhibitor plus anti-angiogenic therapy can achieve better outcomes for patients with renal cell carcinoma than treatment with anti-angiogenic therapy alone. In this review, we consider how combination checkpoint inhibitor plus anti-angiogenic therapy works, and we review the current literature to identify evidence to inform clinicians as to the most effective way to use these different types of drugs, either one after the other, or together, for maximum patient benefit.Anti-angiogenic agents, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors and anti-VEGF antibodies, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) are standard treatments for advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC). In the past, these agents were administered as sequential monotherapies. Recently, combinations of anti-angiogenic agents and CPIs have been approved for the treatment of aRCC, based on evidence that they provide superior efficacy when compared with sunitinib monotherapy. Here we explore the possible mechanisms of action of these combinations, including a review of relevant preclinical data and clinical evidence in patients with aRCC. We also ask whether the benefit is additive or synergistic, and, thus, whether concomitant administration is preferred over sequential monotherapy. Further research is needed to understand how combinations of anti-angiogenic agents with CPIs compare with CPI monotherapy or combination therapy (e.g., nivolumab and ipilimumab), and whether the long-term benefit observed in a subset of patients treated with CPI combinations will also be realised in patients treated with an anti-angiogenic therapy and a CPI. Additional research is also needed to establish whether other elements of the tumour microenvironment also need to be targeted to optimise treatment efficacy, and to identify biomarkers of response to inform personalised treatment using combination therapies.

Combination of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Anti-Angiogenic Agents in Brain Metastases From Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Brain metastases remain a critical issue in the management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) because of the high frequency and poor prognosis, with survival rates often measured in just months. The local treatment approach remains the current standard of care, but management of multiple asymptomatic brain metastases always involves systemic therapy. Given that anti-angiogenic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) both target the tumor microenvironment (TME), this combination therapy has become a promising strategy in clinical practice. Increasing number of preclinical and clinical studies have shown remarkable anti-tumor activity of the combination therapy, but the efficacy in brain metastases is unclear due to the strict selection criteria adopted in most clinical trials. This review briefly summarizes the potential synergistic anti-tumor effect and clinical development of the combination of anti-angiogenic agents and ICIs in NSCLC brain metastases, and discusses the existing challenges and problems.

Anti-angiogenic agents - overcoming tumour endothelial cell anergy and improving immunotherapy outcomes.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized medical oncology, although currently only a subset of patients has a response to such treatment. A compelling body of evidence indicates that anti-angiogenic therapy has the capacity to ameliorate antitumour immunity owing to the inhibition of various immunosuppressive features of angiogenesis. Hence, combinations of anti-angiogenic agents and immunotherapy are currently being tested in >90 clinical trials and 5 such combinations have been approved by the FDA in the past few years. In this Perspective, we describe how the angiogenesis-induced endothelial immune cell barrier hampers antitumour immunity and the role of endothelial cell anergy as the vascular counterpart of immune checkpoints. We review the antitumour immunity-promoting effects of anti-angiogenic agents and provide an update on the current clinical successes achieved when these agents are combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Finally, we propose that anti-angiogenic agents are immunotherapies - and vice versa - and discuss future research priorities.

Research Progress of Anti-angiogenic Agents Combined with Immunotherapy in Patients with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

肺癌是中国乃至全世界发病率和死亡率最高的癌种，其中非小细胞肺癌（non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC）约占85%。肿瘤的生长和转移依赖于肿瘤新生血管的形成，抗血管生成治疗的地位日益显著，但仅接受抗血管生成单药治疗无法使患者预后明显改善。近年来，免疫检查点抑制剂（immune checkpoint inhibitor, ICI）的应用显著地改善了部分肺癌患者的预后，但接受ICI单药治疗人群的缓解率较低，而抗血管生成药物和免疫检查点抑制剂均能调节肿瘤微环境、有潜在协同作用机制，联合应用于抗肿瘤治疗有较好前景。本文将就抗血管生成药物联合免疫检查点抑制剂在晚期NSCLC中的研究及应用进行综述。
