Multiple immune-infiltrate features in the immune-genomic landscape of osteosarcoma, such as poor tumor infiltration by immune cells, low T-cell activity, a lack of immune-stimulating neoantigens, and immune-suppressing pathways, contribute to the limited clinical activity associated with checkpoint inhibitors in this disease, according to results of a study published in Nature Communications.

The presence of circulating tumor cell was found to be independently associated with relapse in patients with stage III melanoma, suggesting that CTC assessment may be useful in identify patients who are at risk for relapse and could benefit from adjuvant therapy.
