Table 1.

Therapeutic and preventive approaches successfully used or potentially can be implemented to prevent primary immunodeficiency-associated cancer hallmarks.

Hallmark or Process Agent or Vause Drug or Modality
Avoiding immune destruction EBV infection** EBV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes
Costimulatory agonist Anti-GITR, anti-ICOS, anti-OX40, and anti-CD27
Regulatory T cells** Anti-CD25
Deregulating cellular energetics Immunometabolism IDO1 inhibitors, A2AR antagonists, Arginase inhibitors, and Glutaminase inhibitors
Evading growth suppressors Dual checkpoint blockade* Anti-CTLA-4 (Ipilimumab), anti-PD1 (Nivolumab), anti-PDL1 (Atezolizumab), anti-TIM3, anti-LAG3, anti-TIGIT, and anti-VISTA
Genome instability and mutation DNA repair defect* Decrease radiation exposure
Epigenetic changes* DNMT inhibitors and HDAC inhibitors
Inducing angiogenesis RAS-associated autoimmune leuko-proliferative disease Cetuximab, Pantitumumab, and Bevacizumab
Sustaining proliferative signaling EBV infection** Butyrate and Ganciclovir
HPV infection* L1 virus-like particles vaccine
BTK activation* Ibrutinib and Acalabrutinib
PI3K activation** Rifampicin, Buparlisib, Alpelisib, Nemiralisib, and Idelalisib
PI3K or NFKB activation** Rituximab, Ibritumomab Tiuxetan, and Tositumomab
mTOR activation** Everolimus
MAPK/ERK activation** Trametinib
Stem cell and myeloid development defects Bone marrow transplantation, CSF1R inhibitor, and HDAC inhibitors class IIa
Cytokines JAK inhibitors, TGF inhibitors, and MET inhibitors
Tumor-promoting inflammation H. pylori infection* Standard triple therapy consisting of proton pump inhibitor, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin
Chronic inflammation* Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
