Abstract
Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) is a cancer that is associated with significant mortality. Here, the authors develop a mouse model of PSCC by co-deletion of Smad4 and Apc in the androgen-responsive penile epithelium, and show synergistic efficacy of checkpoint therapy with cabozantinib or celecoxib in their model.
