摘要

Immunotherapy has been recently considered as a promising alternative for cancer treatment.Indeed,targeting of immune checkpoint(ICP)strategies have shown significant success in human malig-nancies.However,despite remarkable success of cancer immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer(PCa),many of the developed immunotherapy methods show poor therapeutic outcomes in PCa with no or few effective treatment options thus far.In this process,immunosuppression in the tumor microenviron-ment(TME)is found to be the main obstacle to the effectiveness of antitumor immune response induced by an immunotherapy method.In this paper,the latest findings on the ICPs,which mediate immunosup-pression in the TME have been reviewed.In addition,different approaches for targeting ICPs in the TME of PCa have been discussed.This review has also synopsized the cutting-edge advances in the latest studies to clinical applications of ICP-targeted therapy in PCa.
