IL27RA and neoplasm: Through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of paired pre- and post-treatment tumor samples from patients who failed to achieve pathological complete response (non-pCR) after neoadjuvant PD-1 therapy, we identified a marked upregulation of interleukin-27 receptor subunit alpha (IL27RA) in malignant epithelial cells within residual lesions.
