Abstract

Hyperprogression (HP) is a recently defined clinical phenomenon in which patients treated with immunotherapy paradoxically exhibit rapid tumor growth. The mechanisms of hyperprogression remain ill-defined, although recent studies in this issue point to a possible role for Fc receptors in this process.<i>See related article by Lo Russo et al., p. 989</i>.
