Inter‐ and intrapatient heterogeneity of indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase expression in primary and metastatic melanoma cells and the tumour microenvironment

Abstract

Therefore, while assessment of tumour IDO expression warrants evaluation in melanoma patient cohorts treated with IDO inhibitors dosed at levels proven to inhibit the target by pharmacodynamic assessment, its utility as a biomarker may be limited by intertumoral heterogeneity.
