Hypothesis on the possible relevance of the immunogenic cell death in the treatment of gestational trophoblastic neoplasms

The genetic background and the antigenic landscape of cancer cells play a critical role in the response to immunotherapies. A high tumor antigenicity, together with an increased adjuvanticity potentially induced by a peculiar type of cell death, namely immunogenic cell death (ICD), could foster the...
