Background: Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) have been reported to have immunohistochemical (IHC) and gene expression signatures suggestive of an immune-responsive tumor microenvironment. Despite this, immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated minimal activity in LMS. We examined molecular profiles of LMS specimens from multiple institutions to explore mechanisms of immunotherapy (IO) resistance.
