Independent association of PD‐L1 expression with noninactivated VHL clear cell renal cell carcinoma—A finding with therapeutic potential
13 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is an aggressive tumor that is characterized in most cases by inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene VHL. The VHL/HIF/VEGF pathway thus plays a major role in angiogenesis and is currently targeted by anti-angiogenic therapy. The emergence of resistance is leading to the use of targeted immunotherapy against immune checkpoint PD1/PDL1 that restores antitumor immune...
