New Therapeutic Targets TIGIT, LAG-3 and TIM-3 in the Treatment of Advanced, Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: The introduction of immunotherapy and target therapy into clinical practice has become a chance for many patients with cancer to prolong their survival while maintaining optimal quality of life. Treatment of lung cancer is excellent evidence of the progress of medical therapies. An understanding of the mechanisms of tumor development has led to the evolution of new methods of treatment. Immunoreceptors of T cells with the immunoglobulin domain ITIM, TIM-3 (T-cell immunoglobulin- and mucin domain-3-containing molecule 3), and LAG-3 (lymphocyte activation gene-3) represent new interesting therapeutic targets. The combination of anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 blockade has proven the possibility of strengthening the anti-tumor response by acting via two separate mechanisms. Adding additional checkp
