The Role of Sex in Predicting Immunotherapy Response in Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Author(s): Nicolas Yeo*
Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer and represents a significant health concern
worldwide. While most cases of cSCC are treatable with local interventions, some advance to more aggressive and invasive stages that require
systemic treatments. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising approach for advanced cSCC, harnessing the body's immune system to target
and eliminate cancer cells. However, individual patient responses to immunotherapy can vary significantly, and research has increasingly focused
on identifying predictive factors, including sex, that influence treatment outcomes. Sexual dimorphism, the biological differences between males
and females, is a well-established aspect of human physiology. These differences extend to the immune system and can influence responses to
immunotherapy. Understanding how se.. Read More»
