Recent evidence highlights patients' sex relevance in antitumor immune response through a complex interaction-among hormones, genes, behaviors, and the microbiome-that affects both innate and adaptive immune functions, as well as immune evasion mechanisms. These complex interactions ultimately influence the efficacy and toxicity of immune checkpoint inhibitors in solid tumors.

Abstract

Recent evidence highlights patients' sex relevance in antitumor immune response through a complex interaction-among hormones, genes, behaviors, and the microbiome-that affects both innate and adaptive immune functions, as well as immune evasion mechanisms. These complex interactions ultimately influence the efficacy and toxicity of immune checkpoint inhibitors in solid tumors.
