Researchers uncover dual role of B7-H3 in prostate tumor immune suppression
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a previously unknown pathway that prostate tumors leverage to suppress the immune system by reshaping the tumor microenvironment to resist treatment.
AI Summary
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered a previously unknown pathway that prostate tumors exploit to suppress the immune system by reshaping the tumor microenvironment, making the cancer more resistant to treatment. In preclinical models of castration‑resistant prostate cancer, a combined targeted‑therapy regimen that blocks this pathway enhanced antitumor responses and extended survival. The findings suggest that disrupting the pathway could improve therapeutic outcomes for aggressive prostate cancers.
