Immune checkpoint inhibitors help release molecular brakes that allow cancer-killing immune cells (cyan) fight Merkel cell carcinoma (magenta). But to wage an effective seige against an MCC tumor, immune cells need fresh reinforcements. Fred Hutch and UW Medicine studies show that it's the presence of these reinforcements in a patient's blood that best predict whether checkpoint inhibitors will work for them.
