Patients with BRCA mutated ovarian cancer may have fewer circulating MDSC and more peripheral [CD8.sup.+] T cells compared with women with BRCA wild-type disease during the early disease course
Immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) are associated with immunologic tolerance and poor prognosis in ovarian cancer (OvCa). We hypothesized that women with germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation-associated (gBRCAm) OvCa would have fewer circulating imm...

Zusammenfassung: | Immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) are associated with immunologic tolerance and poor prognosis in ovarian cancer (OvCa). We hypothesized that women with germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation-associated (gBRCAm) OvCa would have fewer circulating immunosuppressive immune cells compared to those with BRCA wild-type (BRCAwt) disease during their early disease course (5 years post-diagnosis. [CD8.sup.+] T cells among viable [CD45.sup.+] PBMCs and [CTLA-4.sup.+]/[CD8.sup.+] T cells were higher in gBRCAm carriers than patients with BRCAwt, in particular for those |
