Currently, the standard therapeutic approach for several types of cancer is the administration of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) designed to target PD-1 (pembrolizumab, nivolumab, cemiplimab, and dostarlimab) or PD-L1 (atezolizumab, avelumab, and durvalumab) [139][140][141][142][143][144] (Table 2). Also in China, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved the anti-PD-1 toripalimab, sintilimab, camrelizumab, tislelizumab, and zimberelimab, and the Russian Ministry of Health authorized the manufacturing of prolgolimab, indicated for unresectable or metastatic melanoma [145][146][147][148][149][150]. ...

The a nity of Cadonilimab to lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment is higher than that at peripheral sites, and it inhibits the binding of CTLA-4 in peripheral blood and normal tissues, reduces the toxic side effects caused by CTLA-4, and further improves the e cacy and safety of tumor immunotherapy [29].

... There is a minimum requirement for MI in animal cells [27,92], but elevated MI can act as a growth and cell-cycle suppressor. Exogenous application of MI or overexpression of MIB enzymes can have inhibitory effects on in vitro cultured cells [93][94][95]. Additionally, MI and it's derivative inositol hexaphosphate have well documented suppressive effects on cancer cell proliferation [96,97]. The proproliferative signaling pathways negatively affected by these molecules include PI3K/Akt, Wnt/β-catenin, and Notch1 [98,99]. ...

According to WHO data, cervical cancer (Garcia-Becerra et al., 2023;Lindsay et al., 2022) is ranked fourteenth of all types of cancer and is ranked fourth for cancer in women throughout the world. (Fowler, Maani, Dunton, & Jack, 2022;World Health Organization, 2022) Based on data from the Organization World Health (World Health Organization / WHO) in 2020, there were around 604,000 new cases of cervical cancer (Laios et al., 2022;Yuan et al., 2023) from all over the world and around 342,000 deaths due to cervical cancer where around 90% of these deaths occurred in low to middle income countries. (World Health Organization , 2022) Meanwhile for the Asian continent, cervical cancer (Boyce-Fappiano et al., 2021;le Guyader et al., 2022;Li et al., 2021) is the third most common type of cancer found in women and is the main cause of cancer deaths in women in low to middle income countries. ...
