Brain metastasis leads to poor outcomes and CNS injury, significantly reducing quality of life and survival rates. Advances in understanding the tumor immune microenvironment have revealed the promise of immunotherapies, which, alongside surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, offer improved survival for some patients. However, resistance to immunotherapy remains a critical challenge.

The global incidence of metastatic melanoma with BRAF mutations, characterized by aggressive behavior and poor prognosis, is rising. Recent treatment advances, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and targeted therapies (TT) such as BRAF and MEK inhibitors, have significantly enhanced patient outcomes. Although guidelines recommend sequencing strategies, real-world implementation can be influenced by clinical scenarios.

Adaptive Immunity Determines the Cancer Treatment Outcome of Oncolytic Virus and Anti-PD-1.

Bull Math Biol

January 2025

Department of Mathematics, University of Manitoba, 340 UMSU University Centre, Winnipeg, MB, R3T 2N2, Canada.

The immune checkpoint inhibitor, anti-programmed death protein-1 (anti-PD-1), enhances adaptive immunity to kill tumor cells, and the oncolytic virus (OV) triggers innate immunity to clear the infected tumor cells. We create a mathematical model to investigate how the interaction between adaptive and innate immunities under OV and anti-PD-1 affects tumor reduction. For different immunity strength, we create the corresponding virtual baseline patients and cohort patients to decipher the major factors determining the treatment outcome.
