This invention is in the area of improved therapeutic combinations for and methods of treating selected cancers using selected pyrimidine compounds having pan-TAM or Mer/Axl dual receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors. In one aspect, an improved treatment for select cancers is disclosed using selected pyrimidine compounds described herein in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, for example, a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) inhibitor, a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) inhibitor, or a programmed death-ligand 1 (PDL-1) inhibitor, or combination thereof.
