Abstract
Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) promote antitumour immune responses by blocking inhibitory signals expressed by T cells and have significant clinical benefits in the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). With the advancement of immunotherapy, an increasing number of ICIs have been developed or are in clinical trial stages. However, drug resistance and immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with ICIs have limited the clinical application of immunotherapy in OSCC, and the optimal drug regimen for ICIs and the optimal duration of ICIs administration also deserves to be further discussed. New therapeutic regimens and drug delivery technologies are key to promoting the further development of ICIs. This article elucidates the mechanism of ICIs’ action and presents a review of their clinical applications and current development status in OSCC. Additionally, it summarizes the current challenges and outlines future research directions for ICIs therapy, with the aim of offering fresh insights to researchers.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
