Rare immune cell holds key to predicting melanoma treatment success

A type of immune cell can help predict which patients may benefit most from cancer immunotherapies, researchers from King's College London, Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital Trust, and the Francis Crick Institute have found.

Protein "on/off switch" controls breast cancer spread and immunotherapy response

Despite their promise, immunotherapies fail to treat many cancers, including over 80% of some of the most advanced breast cancers.

Unlocking radiation resistance: Missing protein key to suppressing cancer-fighting cells

A new study finds that radiation therapy (RT) suppresses a key protein called bone morphogenetic protein and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI) and activates immune suppressive cells.

Can community pharmacists reduce the incidence of skin cancer?

Study explores the impact of community pharmacists in skin cancer prevention, finding that their counseling significantly influences sunscreen purchases and dermatological visits.

Simple trick supercharges T cells to fight stubborn solid tumors

Wistar researchers successfully tested a simple intervention that could unlock greater anti-tumor power in therapies that use T cells -; an approach known as "cell-based therapy," which uses specially designed T cells to fight cancer.

Missing protein triggers alternative immune attack on cancer cells

Researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have found certain immune cells can still fight cancer even when the cancer cells lack an important protein that the immune system relies on to help track down cancer cells.

Researchers identify biomarkers for checkpoint inhibitor-induced hyperprogression of melanoma cells

Duke Cancer Institute researchers have identified potential biomarkers that predict the likelihood for checkpoint inhibitor drugs to backfire, driving hyper-progression of melanoma cells instead of unleashing the immune system to fight them.

Researchers discover new option to target the metastatic capacity of melanoma cells

As an extremely aggressive form of skin cancer, cutaneous melanoma is still associated with a high mortality rate. Enormous progress has recently been made in the fight against deadly metastasis, but existing therapeutic measures are still not effective in many cases.
