Summary
1. Immune Checkpoint Blockade Expanding Role in Cancer Treatment
1. Well-tolerated
2. Good response rate
3. Some responses maintained long-term off-treatment
4. Outstanding questions
1. Optimal regimen
2. Predictive biomarkers for response
2. Why are the Non-Responsive Tumors Non-Responsive?
3. Combination Approaches = Next Step Forward
1. + Chemotherapy
2. + Radiation Therapy
3. + Cancer Vaccines
4. Combining multiple checkpoint blocking agents
