Sarcomas are rare and heterogeneous malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin. A total of 25-50% of patients treated with initial curative intent will develop as recurrent and metastatic disease. In the recurrent and metastatic setting, effect of chemotherapy is limited; therefore, more effective therapies are urgently desired. As a brake for activation of T cell, PD-1/PD-L1 plays a crucial role in the progression of tumor by altering status of immune surveillance. Some success has been acquired recently in the use of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors for the treatment of several solid tumors, for examples, non-small-cell lung cancer and melanoma. Immunotherapeutic strategies based on PD-1/PD-L1 for sarcomas have also been explored these years. As in other cancers, major challenges are identification of biomarkers to predict response for immunotherapy, optimization of patient's benefit and minimization of side effects. Therefore, we focused on potential biomarkers of immunotherapy for treatment of sarcomas in this review.
