15 Defining Systemic and Tumor-Intrinsic Biomarkers of Immune Suppression in Renal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract Background Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is characterized by a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment enriched in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs), both of which correlate with poor clinical outcomes. TAMs in RCC commonly exhibit an immunosuppressive phenotype, marked by...
