Surgical operability refers to stage I to IIIA and selected stage IIIB NSCLC. One of the main challenges in the management of early-stage resectable NSCLC is the optimization of available therapeutic strategies to prevent local and distant disease relapse, thus improving survival outcomes. There is evidence supporting the clinical use of both adjuvant and neoadjuvant immunotherapy-based strategies for resected/resectable, stage IB-IIIA NSCLC. Available data from randomized phase III trials have led to the incorporation of several immune checkpoint blockers (ICBs) into the international guidelines for early-stage NSCLC. Preclinical rationale of targeting specific subsets of T-cells by acting early on immune checkpoint receptors (e.g., PD-(L)1 and CTLA-4) is strong. Recent evidence is in favor of the neoadjuvant approach alone or as a part of perioperative strategy, demonstrating survival benefit. Combining neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery results in both pathologic complete response (pCR) and major pathologic response (MPR) improvement, and survival outcomes, with no major safety issues. In this review, we summarize the rationale behind neoadjuvant/perioperative immunotherapy strategies and, due to the clinical relevance of immunotherapy in resectable NSCLC, we provide current evidence of this cutting-edge approach among special populations including older adults, women, and oncogene addicted NSCLC. To conclude, we present future perspectives in the use of immunotherapy for operable NSCLC with a special focus on novel investigational combinations underway.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9537,"journal":{"name":"Cancer treatment reviews","volume":"131 ","pages":"Article 102845"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142514606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, NK cell and DC activity is often compromised in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Recently, much attention has been paid to one of the major components of the TME, the cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which not only contribute to extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and tumor progression but also suppress immune cell functions. It is now well established that CAFs support T cell exclusion from tumor nests and regulate their cytotoxic activity. In contrast, little is currently known about their interaction with NK cells, and DCs. In this review, we describe the interaction of CAFs with NK cells and DCs, by secreting and expressing various mediators in the TME of adult solid tumors. We also provide a detailed overview of ongoing clinical studies evaluating the targeting of stromal factors alone or in combination with immunotherapy based on immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Hence, there is an urgent need for novel treatment strategies to improve the prognosis of patients with LANPC. Numerous studies have illustrated the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in recurrent/metastatic NPC. Hence, the potential of immunotherapy for LANPC is under investigation. Using the Web of Clinical Trials, we identified 84 relevant trials exploring immunotherapy for NPC, encompassing 17 trials focusing on ICIs for LANPC. Preliminary findings from several trials suggest that adding ICIs into the primary treatment for LANPC significantly enhances the objective response rate and progression-free survival, with manageable safety profiles. However, the type, dosage, and timing of integration (induction phase, concurrent phase, and adjuvant phase) of ICIs into standard primary treatment of LANPC varies among these trials and further researches are warranted. This review provides an overview of immunotherapy principles in NPC, discusses recent advances and challenges associated with ICIs in the primary treatment for LANPC derived from published and ongoing clinical trials, and outlines the current landscape of other immunotherapies in LANPC, such as adoptive cell therapy, immunomodulatory agents, and tumor vaccines in LANPC.
