The Potential of Immunotherapy for SMARCA4-Deficient Undifferentiated Uterine Sarcoma (SDUS).

(1) Background: SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated uterine sarcoma (SDUS) is a rare and aggressive cancer that urgently requires novel therapeutic strategies. Despite the proven efficacy of immunotherapy in various cancer types, its application in SDUS remains largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate the immune microenvironment of SDUS to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing immunotherapy. (2) Methods: Multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) was employed to examine the immune microenvironment in two cases of SDUS in comparison to other subtypes of endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESSs). This research involved a comprehensive evaluation of immune cell infiltration, cellular interactions, and spatial organization within the tumor immune microenvironment (TiME). Statistical analysis was performed to assess differences in immune cell densities and interactions between SDUS and other ESSs. (3) Results: SDUS exhibited a significantly higher density of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), T helper (Th) cells, B cells, and macrophages compared to other ESSs. Notable cellular interactions included Th-CTL and Th-B cell interactions, which were more prominent in SDUS. The spatial analysis revealed distinct immune niches characterized by lymphocyte aggregation and a vascular-rich environment, suggesting an active and engaged immune microenvironment in SDUS. (4) Conclusions: The results suggest that SDUS exhibits a highly immunogenic TiME, characterized by substantial lymphocyte infiltration and dynamic cellular interactions. These findings highlight the potential of immunotherapy as an effective treatment approach for SDUS. However, given the small number of samples evaluated, these conclusions should be drawn with caution. This study underscores the importance of additional investigation into immune-targeted therapies for this challenging cancer subtype, with a larger sample size to validate and expand upon these preliminary findings.
