Updates on Immunotherapy and Immune Landscape in Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma

Several clinicopathological features of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) contribute to make an “atypical” cancer, including resistance to chemotherapy, sensitivity to anti-angiogenesis therapy and ICIs despite a low mutational burden, and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell infiltration being...
