Role of Hypoxia and the Adenosine System in Immune Evasion and Prognosis of Patients with Brain Metastases of Melanoma: A Multiplex Whole Slide Immun…
2020
Simple Summary The introduction of immune-checkpoint inhibitors improved the therapeutic landscape for patients with advanced malignant melanoma. However, many patients, including patients with melanoma brain metastases, do not derive benefit from immune-checkpoint blockade. Hence, biomarkers are needed to identify potential mechanisms of resistance and optimize patient selection. This study aimed to explore the role of hypoxia-mediated immunosuppression within the tumor microenvironment of patients with metastatic melanoma using multiplex immunofluorescence. We analyzed the prognostic relevance of the hypoxia surrogate marker GLUT-1, the adenosine-synthesizing ectoenzymes CD73/CD39, and th…
