TY - JOUR AU - Walsh, Elaine M. AU - Kelly, Ronan J. PY - 2018 TI - Single agent anti PD-1 inhibitors in esophageal cancer—a first step in a new therapeutic direction JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 10, No 3 (March 31, 2018): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - Esophageal squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas have proven to be inherently resistant to systemic treatments as a result of histological, molecular and etiological heterogeneity, with limited responses seen after first line therapy. The promise of immunotherapy in esophagogastric cancer has been suggested for a long time due to the recognized link between infection, chronic inflammation, and malignancy.
