Abstract

Immunotherapy has become an effective method for the treatment of a variety of malignant tumors. However, with the development of immunotherapy, the phenomenon of hyperprogression in patients with cancer has gradually attracted attention. Hyperprogression refers to a condition in which the progression of a disease during treatment of a patient with cancer is suddenly accelerated. To date, no reliable marker has been found to predict accelerated tumor growth during immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment. The aim the present study was to summarize the definition of hyperprogression and the difference between hyperprogression and pseudocytosis, and investigate the potential mechanisms of hyperprogression including clinical characteristics, potential molecular markers and the immune microenvironment. The effect of macrophage‑related different types and factors on tumors in the immune microenvironment was analyzed, and the findings may be used to determine the future directions of research in hyperprogression.
