The combination of Sintilimab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, with the frontline immunochemotherapy regimen MTR (methotrexate, temozolomide, and rituximab) for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) showed a promising response rate and favorable safety profile. These results support our concept of immune-combination therapy to fully activate the anti-cancer immune cycle.
