CDKN2A and neoplasm: This review provides a comprehensive overview of current evidence on how histological subtypes (epithelioid vs. non-epithelioid) influence ICB efficacy, highlighting distinct genetic landscapes (e.g., BAP1, CDKN2A, NF2 mutations) and tumor microenvironment (TME) features, including immune infiltration patterns and PD-L1 or VISTA expression, that underlie differential responses.
