Researchers discover biomarkers that predict response to immunotherapy in skin carcinoma

IDIBELL researchers have discovered a mechanism by which tumor cells respond differentially to various immunotherapies and have identified biomarkers that predict the response to these drugs. Published in Nature Communications, this finding would allow personalizing the treatment of skin carcinoma and thus increase the patients quality of life.
