Predicting prognosis and immunotherapeutic response of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have emerged as a novel therapeutic strategy for many different tumors, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, these drugs are only effective in some ccRCC patients, and can produce a wide range of immune-related adverse reactions. Previous studies have found that ccRCC is different from other tumors, and common biomarkers such as tumor mutational burden, HLA type, and degree of immunological infiltration cannot predict the response of ccRCC to immunotherapy. Therefore, it is necessary to further research and construct corresponding clinical prediction models to predict the efficacy of Immune checkpoint inhibitors. We integrated PBRM1 mutation data, transcriptome data, endogenous retrovirus data, and gene copy number data from 123 patients
