Bladder Cancer, Loss of Y Chromosome, and New Opportunities for Immunotherapy

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have emerged as an important therapeutic approach for patients with cancers including bladder cancer (BC). This commentary describes a recent study that demonstrated that the loss of Y chromosome (LOY) and/or loss of specific genes on Y chromosome confers an aggressive phenotype to BC because of T cell dysfunction resulting in CD8+T cell exhaustion. Loss of expression of Y chromosome genes KDM5D and UTY was similarly associated with an unfavorable prognosis in patients with BC as these genes were partially responsible for the impaired anti-tumor immunity in LOY tumors. From a clinical perspective, the study showed that tumors with LOY may be susceptible to treatment with ICIs.
