Description

Lijun Li and co-authors review, in a 2026 paper, how to beat cancer's resistance to a leading class of immune drugs. These checkpoint drugs transformed care, with dozens approved in a decade, yet only a minority of patients gain lasting benefit. The review maps where the drugs work alone and where they stall.

Pairing targets is the main escape route. Combos against blood vessel growth, a second checkpoint, and a third brake molecule are weighed, with one dual-target drug singled out for its trial success. Wider angles include reshaping the tumor's neighborhood and tuning the body's microbes and hormones. The authors frame a precision plan for combo design.
