Background: The effectiveness of immunotherapy has been validated in multiple cancers. However, not all patients benefit from immunotherapy, and its objective response rate is less than 30% in some cancers, so it is of great importance to find a pan-cancer biomarker that can effectively predict immunotherapy response.
Methods: Fifteen immunotherapy datasets were retrospectively analyzed to determine pan-cancer biomarkers to predict immunotherapy response. A total of 348 patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) who received anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy from the dataset of IMvigor210 trial were included in the primary analysis. In addition, 12 public immunotherapy datasets of different cancers and two datasets of gastrointestinal cancer patients who received anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy between August 2015 and May 2019 at Peking University Cancer Hospital (PUCH) were analyzed as validation cohorts.
Results: The expression of CXCL9, IFNG, and GBP5 was independently associated with the response to anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy in patients with mUC. The ability of the expression panel of CXCL9, IFNG, and GBP5 to predict immunotherapy response was validated in immunotherapy datasets of different cancers.
Conclusion: The expression panel of CXCL9, IFNG, and GBP5 can potentially be a pan-cancer biomarker for predicting immunotherapy response.

Background: Advanced gastric cancer (GC) exhibits a high recurrence rate and a dismal prognosis. Myocyte enhancer factor 2c (MEF2C) was found to contribute to the development of various types of cancer. Therefore, our aim is to develop a prognostic model that predicts the prognosis of GC patients and initially explore the role of MEF2C in immunotherapy for GC.

Background: Patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) receiving drug treatment often have an unpredictive response and there is a lack of effective methods to predict treatment outcome for patients. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a significant role in the tumor microenvironment and the DCs-related gene signature may be used to predict treatment outcome. Here, we screened for DC-related genes to construct a prognostic signature to predict prognosis and response to immunotherapy in LUAD patients.

Purpose: STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is involved in viral and bacterial defense through interferon pathway and innate immunity. Increased susceptibility to infection is a common manifestation of multiple myeloma (MM). Thus, we aimed to explore the clinical significance and possible mechanism of STING in MM.

Aims: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) shows considerable variation within and between tumors, presents varying treatment responses among patients, possibly due to molecular distinctions. This study utilized a multi-center and multi-omics analysis to establish and validate a prognosis and treatment vulnerability signature (PTVS) capable of effectively predicting patient prognosis and drug responsiveness.
Materials And Methods: To address this complexity, we constructed an integrative multi-omics analysis using 10 clustering algorithms on ccRCC patient data.

Objective: Immunotherapy has become an option for the first-line therapy of advanced gastric cancer (GC), with improved survival. Our study aimed to investigate unresectable GC from an imaging perspective combined with clinicopathological variables to identify patients who were most likely to benefit from immunotherapy.
Method: Patients with unresectable GC who were consecutively treated with immunotherapy at two different medical centers of Chinese PLA General Hospital were included and divided into the training and validation cohorts, respectively.
