Researchers have developed a possible new method for treating pancreatic cancer which enables the body's immune system to attack and kill cancer cells. The method uses a drug which breaks down the protective barrier surrounding pancreatic cancer tumours, enabling cancer-attacking T cells to get through. The drug is used in combination with an antibody that blocks a second target, which improves the activity of these T cells. Initial tests of the combined ...Saturday, 21 December 2013
Research Sheds Light on Breaking Down Cancer's Defense Mechanisms
Researchers have developed a possible new method for treating pancreatic cancer which enables the body's immune system to attack and kill cancer cells. The method uses a drug which breaks down the protective barrier surrounding pancreatic cancer tumours, enabling cancer-attacking T cells to get through.
