AACR 2024 | The limited therapeutic efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors for pancreatic cancer

Olatunji Alese, MD, Emory Winship Cancer Institute, Atlanta, GA, comments on the lack of therapeutic application of checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Despite this, Dr Alese suggests that advances in understanding the immune microenvironment of patients with pancreatic cancer may eventually enable the development of effective immunotherapies that utilize immune checkpoint inhibitors. This interview took place at the 2024 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) in San Diego, CA.
