The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

The invention provides methods and devices for determining molecular signatures in a cancer that predict response to a MARPK pathway inhibitor and methods of use of such signatures.

The present invention relates to a method for determining the presence or absence of at least one promoter in a cancerous biological sample relative to a non-cancerous biological sample. The present invention also relates to a method for determining the prognosis of cancer in a subject, a method for modulating the activity of at least one cancer-associated promoter in a cell, a method for modulating the immune response of a subject to cancer, a method for determining the presence of at least one cancer-associated promoter in a cancerous biological sample relative to a non-cancerous biological sample and a biomarker for detecting cancer in a subject.

The present disclosure relates to methods for diagnosing hematological cancers. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing a hematological cancer in a patient comprising i) detecting the presence of CD45RARO NK cells in a sample obtained from the patient and ii) and concluding that the patient suffers from a hematological cancer when the presence of CD45RARO NK cells is detected in the sample and the presence of at least one phenotypic marker indicates the nature of the haematological cancer.

Provided herein are methods and systems of molecular profiling of diseases, such as cancer. In some embodiments, the molecular profiling can be used to identify treatments for the disease, such as treatments that provide likely benefit or likely lack of benefit for the disease.

Provided herein are methods of determining tumoral sensitivity to hormonal (endocrine) therapy based upon an index of estrogen receptor (ER)- and progesterone receptor (PR)-related genes, referred to as the sensitivity to endocrine therapy index (SETER/PR index), and may have additional consideration for the proportion of ER gene (ESRI) RNA transcripts that contain a mutation relative to the value of the SETER/PR index. Further provided are methods of treating breast cancer patients determined to be sensitive to an endocrine therapy by the SETER/PR index.

There is described herein methods for improving tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy by limiting the effect of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) thereon. For example, in an aspect, there is provided a method of treating cancer in a patient in need thereof, comprising inhibiting the suppressive effect of CD56.sup.+CD3.sup.− innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) on tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) propagation or expansion.

In the present invention, the use of the TAS1R3 receptor as a biomarker for application in cancer diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy is described for the first time. In this sense, the authors of the present invention have demonstrated that TAS1R3 is a biomarker of interest in oncology, useful for the diagnosis of the disease, and capable of providing relevant information thereupon, to monitor the evolution, select the treatment, and selectively direct therapeutic molecules. It has been determined that it is possible to identify therapies against this receptor, and that it is also possible to direct conjugates and controlled release systems of drugs, such as nanoparticles, observing a very effective intracellular accumulation thereof in primary, disseminated and metastatic tumor cells. On the other hand, the presence of TAS1R3 in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) has also been demonstrated. These are tumor cells released into the bloodstream by the primary tumor and are considered key factors in the creation of metastases, so that their detection in early stages will serve as an early detector of metastasis, and are also useful in monitoring the disease and evaluating of the response to drugs.
