PD-Loma: a cancer entity with a shared sensitivity to the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway blockade.

Clinical trials have now identified over 30 cancer histotypes with sensitivity to anti-PD-(L)1 therapies. It is the first time in oncology that a class of drugs has demonstrated such a wide spectrum of activity in monotherapy. This subgroup of cancers ('PD-Lomas') is driving the clinical research strategies for the next generation of combination immunotherapy.
