Popis: There is an unmet need to improve the response to immune checkpoint blockade in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here the authors show that aberrant HER3 activation sustains the proliferation of PIK3CA wild type HNSCC cells and that HER3 inhibition increases response to PD-1 blockade in HNSCC preclinical models.
