Abstract

c-Met inhibition has direct antitumor effects on proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis, and indirect antitumor effects via prevention of the induction of immunosuppressive mechanisms (PD-L1, TGFβ, IDO1). c-Met inhibition is key to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint inhibition and to maximize the efficacy of immunotherapy.
