Description: Dr. Thomas F. Gajewski, professor of medicine, explains why T cell-inflamed tumor microenvironment may serve as a predictive biomarker for response to immunotherapies. Dr. Gajewski also describes how STING agonists may provide means to deliberately initiate innate immune inflammation to promote an endogenous T cell response in non-T cell-inflamed tumors.
