Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Recent advancements in immunotherapy have demonstrated the potential of targeting immune checkpoints and co-inhibitory pathways to enhance antitumor responses.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive blood cancer characterized by the accumulation of immature myeloid cells. Current treatments often fail to achieve durable remission, underscoring the need for innovative therapeutic approaches. CD97 is a cell surface protein with broad, increased expression on AML cells compared to normal blood stem and progenitor cells. Moreover, CD97 overexpression in AML patients has been associated with poor survival, thus emerging as a potential therapeutic target.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a type of cancer characterized by very poor prognosis and resistance to immunotherapy due to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, which includes extensive desmoplasia and a dense stroma.
