Epigenomic promoter alterations predict for benefit from immune checkpoint inhibition in metastatic gastric cancer
4 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Utilization of alternative transcription start sites through alterations in epigenetic promoter regions causes reduced expression of immunogenic N-terminal peptides, which may facilitate immune evasion in early gastric cancer. We hypothesized that tumors with high alternate promoter utilization would be resistant to immune checkpoint inhibition in metastatic gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two...
