Background The phase III trial KEYNOTE-689 has now established a new standard of care in resectable, locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma by integrating perioperative PD-1 blockade with surgery and (chemo)radiation. In contrast, four recent phase III trials adding concurrent …

The most effective treatments for locally advanced cancers rely on non-targeted chemotherapies given with radiotherapy. Advances in cancer biology have identified vulnerabilities amenable to precision oncology approaches including antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). In theory, ADCs combine specificity of cancer cell receptor antibody …

Surgical ablation or broad radiation of tumor-draining lymph nodes can eliminate the primary tumor response to immunotherapy, highlighting the crucial role of these nodes in mediating the primary tumor response. Here, we show that immunoradiotherapy efficacy is dependent on treatment sequence and …

Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibition has demonstrated no benefit when combined with chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced HNSCC, raising the possibility that standard therapies compromise the response to immunotherapy. We previously demonstrated that ablating tumor draining lymphatics abolishes the response to immune-oncology therapy. Specifically, …

Summary Drug-tolerant persister cancer cells were first reported fifteen years ago as a quiescent, reversible cell state which tolerates unattenuated cytotoxic drug stress. It remains unknown whether a similar phenomenon contributes to immune evasion. Here we report a persister state which survives …

Abstract Recent advances in immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) inhibiting programmed death-1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein (CTLA-4) have revolutionized the standard of care for cancer treatment. However, the limited response rates to ICB across multiple cancer types suggest that new approaches and …

Despite the promise of immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI), therapeutic responses remain limited. This raises the possibility that standard of care treatments delivered in concert may compromise the tumor response. To address this, we employ tobacco-signature head and neck squamous cell carcinoma murine …

Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 has revolutionized oncology; however, response rates remain limited in most cancer types, highlighting the need for more effective immune oncology (IO) treatment strategies. Paradoxically, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), which bears …
