Cancer-associated nerve injury leads to chronic inflammation and immunotherapy resistance
Study finds cancer cells break down protective nerve coverings, leading to nerve injury and chronic inflammation
These nerve injuries drive immune exhaustion and immunotherapy resistance
Targeting the cancer-induced nerve injury pathway can reverse resistance and improve treatment response
Findings highlight importance of studying cancer neuroscience – the interactions between cancer and the nervous system
Cancer cells can break down...

AACR: New CAR T cell therapy benefits patients with advanced thyroid cancers
Phase I trial demonstrates lasting responses and encouraging safety profile in two aggressive thyroid cancer subtypes, suggesting further progress for CAR T cell therapy in solid tumors
One patient experienced a complete response, and one patient had a partial response
This type of cancer has limited treatment options, and most patients have a poor prognosis of six months or less
AIC100 is a CAR T cell therapy that targets the ICAM-1 protein...
