Although immunotherapy has achieved increasing prominence in the panoply of innovative cancer treatments, it remains an imperfect tool—too many tumors simply do not respond.
Numerous vaccines, from flu shots to those those that help thwart chickenpox and measles, are widely used to guard against contagion, but researchers in France are proposing a breakthrough role for rotavirus vaccines: deploying ...
Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, have concluded their phase 2 trial of chemotherapy in combination with the drugs nivolumab, and regorafenib.
The present variants of cancer immunotherapy such as immune checkpoint blockades only benefit a small subset of patients due to its immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. The capacity to vaccinate tumors and reduce immunosuppression ...
Therapeutic antibodies that cause aggressive tumors to become susceptible to treatment are being studied with the hope of one day changing the fate of patients who either relapse soon after cancer therapy or whose stubborn ...
New insights into a population of tumor-infiltrating T cells may ultimately allow doctors to predict how patients will respond to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy, a form of cancer treatment with advantages that doctors ...
The growth of solid tumors is frequently driven by mutations in key proto-oncogenes. For non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC), somatic mutations in the KRAS (Kirsten RAt Sarcoma virus) gene turn it into an oncogene that renders ...
In a new study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have designed a new method for developing immunotherapy drugs using engineered peptides to elicit ...
