What Role Does Immunotherapy Play in Cancer Genomics?
Immunotherapy, which harnesses the body's immune system to fight cancer, has become a promising treatment option. Cancer genomics has played a crucial role in identifying biomarkers that predict response to immunotherapy, such as PD-L1 expression and microsatellite instability (MSI). By understanding the genetic and molecular characteristics of tumors, researchers can better identify patients who are likely to benefit from immunotherapy and develop new strategies to enhance its effectiveness.
