Soluble interleukin-2 receptor as a predictive biomarker for poor efficacy of combination treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies and chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer patients
Soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) suppresses effector T-cells. Few studies have assessed serum sIL-2R in patients receiving immunotherapy. We evaluated the association between serum sIL-2R levels and the...
