    Autophagy is a critical cellular process that maintains homeostasis by regulating proteostasis and organelle quality control.

  • 2

    The role of autophagy in cancer is paradoxical, as it can either suppress tumor development or promote cancer progression depending on the context.

  • 3

    Autophagy influences immune checkpoint expression and shapes antitumor immunity through various immune components like T cells and macrophages.

  • 4

    Drug resistance in cancer treatment is modulated by autophagy through pathways involving AMPK, HSF1, and reactive oxygen species.

  • 5

    Research on autophagy in gynecologic cancers highlights its potential as a therapeutic target and the need for precision medicine approaches.
