Abstract
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a hard to treat malignancy arising from the mesothelial surface of the pleura. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are considered a promising therapeutic strategy in many hardto- treat malignancies. In this review, we are trying to provide an in depth coverage of the prognostic value of immune checkpoints aberrations as well as discuss the different novel therapeutic strategies implementing these agents in the management of MPM.
Keywords: Mesothelioma, tremelimumab, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, immune, prognostic value.
