The STAT3-VSIR axis is a potentially significant immuno-modulatory mechanism in oral cavity and ovarian cancers, whose activation is associated with poorer survival and an immune microenvironment marked by decreased CD4 helper T-cell activity. The role of VSIR as a tumor-intrinsic modulator of resistance to immunotherapy warrants further exploration.
