Targeting myeloid-derived suppressor cells for cancer therapy

The emergence and clinical application of immunotherapy is considered a promising breakthrough in cancer treatment. According to the literature, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has achieved positive clinical responses in different cancer types, although its clinical efficacy remains limited in some...
