Abstract

Combination immune-checkpoint inhibition with chemotherapy is a clinical standard, yet concurrent administration may limit the full benefit of immunotherapy by blunting the proliferation and differentiation of CD8 T cells. Identifying patients in whom sequential chemo-immunotherapy or immunotherapy alone is feasible should be a priority to optimize long-term outcomes. See related article by Mariniello et al., p. 1833.
