TLDR
The immune system recognizes and is poised to eliminate cancer but is held in check by inhibitory receptors and ligands, so drugs interrupting immune checkpoints, such as anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, and others in early development, can unleash anti-tumor immunity and mediate durable cancer regressions.
