Immune profiling of combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma reveals distinct subtypes and activation of gene signatures predictive of response to immunotherapy

Purpose: Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) is a rare malignancy associated with an overall poor prognosis. We aimed to investigate the immune profile of cHCC-CCA and determine its impact on disease outcome. Experimental Design: We performed a multicenter study of 96 patients with cHCC-CCA. Gene expression profile was analyzed using nCounter PanCancer IO 360 Panel. Densities of main immune cells subsets were quantified from...
