Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, offering durable responses for some patients. In addition, many immunotherapy strategies are under investigation for the treatment of earlier stages of disease or in other gynecologic cancers, such as ovarian cancer and rare gynecologic tumors. While the integration of ICIs into the standard of care has improved outcomes for patients, their use requires a nuanced understanding of biomarker testing, treatment selection, patient selection, response evaluation and surveillance, and patient quality of life considerations, among other topics. To address this need for guidance, the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) convened a multidisciplinary panel of experts to develop a clinical practice guideline. The Expert Panel drew on the published literature as well as their own clinical experience to develop evidence-and consensus-based recommendations to provide guidance to cancer care professionals treating patients with gynecologic cancer.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nGynecologic cancer causes a significant global health burden for people assigned female at birth,1 even with advances in prevention such as vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV)—the main etiological agent of cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers.2 Recurrent or metastatic gynecologic cancer, especially of the cervix, endometrium, or ovary, has historically been associated with poor prognosis and limited treatment options that often elicit significant toxicities.  \nIn recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) antagonizing programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) (collectively referred  \nto in this clinical practice guideline [CPG] as PD-(L)1) have improved outcomes in numerous cancers either as monotherapies or in combination with chemotherapy, tumor-targeted therapies, or other ICIs. These regimens disrupt suppressive signaling in the tumor microenvironment such that tumor antigen-specific T cells may efficiently eradicate cancer cells and initiate subsequent cycles of antigen presentation, T cell priming, trafficking and infiltration, and recognition of tumor antigens by effector cells.3  \nMany features of gynecologic cancer—including elevated PD-L1 expression, pathogenic mutations in DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE) with accompanying ultra-mutated tumor mutational burden (TMB), intercurrent HPV infections, presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and high penetrance of mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency (dMMR)—suggest the presence of pre-existing anti-tumor immunity that may beamenable to re-invigoration through immunotherapy.4 As such, ICIs have demonstrated clinical benefi","cbCaiuarIKEBsBsn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuarIKEBsBsn","pdf",2722870,34,"English","# ABSTRACT\n# INTRODUCTION\n# GUIDELINE DEVELOPMENT METHODS\n## Expert Panel composition","[{\"question\":\"Why was this SITC clinical practice guideline developed for gynecologic cancer immunotherapy?\",\"answer\":\"The guideline addresses the need for guidance on integrating ICIs, which requires nuanced understanding of biomarker testing, treatment and patient selection, response evaluation, surveillance, and quality-of-life considerations.
