Biomarker for prediction of immunotherapy outcomes and precision treatment strategies
TS-075237 — Problem
The loss or mutation of serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11), observed in 20–25% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases, is associated with poor prognosis and resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). While STK11 alterations are commonly linked to immunotherapy resistance, so…
