Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This manuscript thoroughly summarized current immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer treatment from different angles, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cellular therapy, and vaccine therapy. The manuscript is well written and easy to follow and understand.

one minor suggestion is in the ICI section, based on the summary by the authors, it seems that PDAC responds less to ICI treatment and the authors explained the mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance, however, the paragraph " mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance" reads relatively isolated. Any failure cases summarized in the ICI section are related to these mechanisms? If any mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance the author introduced can explain the lower response to ICI in PDAC, the author can insert these mechanisms in the paragraphs that introduced the efficacy of ICI monotherapy, dual therapy, and ICI combined with chemotherapy in PDAC to help the readers to understand why PDAC fails to respond to the ICI treatment.

Reviewer 2 Report

The authors summarized several immunotherapy approaches in pancreatic cancer including immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) related therapy, adaptive cellular therapy as well as vaccine therapy. 

Comments:

1. For CAR-T therapy in pancreatic cancer, any progress in dual-CAR-T therapy? how about the progress for CAR-T therapy combine with other therapies?

2. Are there any connection among these three kind of immunotherapies (ICI, adaptive cellular therapy as well as vaccine therapy in PDAC?
