The researchers found that the tumor was produced by more than only the T cells’ present genetic changes.

PD-1 inhibitors and other immune checkpoint inhibitors can be used to treat dozens of different forms of cancer.
This finding clarifies how microenvironments and cellular contacts influence the location-specific adaptation of tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells
The combination immunotherapy affected distant metastases in addition to the treated tumors. It increased the sensitivity of melanomas to checkpoint inhibitors and decreased the creation of new metastases, hence reducing malignant relapses.
Scientists created new medications to suppress PD-1 and activate the body’s immune system to combat cancer after its discovery.
