METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR PREDICTING LONG-TERM SURVIVAL IN CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY

摘要

Provided is a peripheral blood biomarker for predicting the long-term survival/need for therapeutic intervention in cancer immunotherapy. The present invention provides a method that uses a composition of a cell subpopulation in a sample obtained from a subject as an indicator to predict the long-term survival of the subject in cancer immunotherapy. The long-term survival/need for therapeutic intervention in a subject in cancer immunotherapy can be predicted by comparing the level of a CD4+ T cell subpopulation that correlates with dendritic cell stimulation in an antitumor immune response or a dendritic cell subpopulation that correlates with dendritic cell stimulation in an antitumor immune response with a reference standard.
