Scientists at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a cytokine-armored CAR T-cell therapy that helps the immune system better attack aggressive brain tumors in mice while reducing dangerous side effects that have long limited immune-based treatments for glioblastoma, one of the deadliest and most treatment-resistant brain cancers.
A blood test could map the complex ecosystem surrounding cancer cells, offering a more accurate way to predict which patients will benefit from immunotherapy, according to researchers at Mayo Clinic and Stanford Medicine. The test they developed could help guide treatment decisions across multiple cancer types and treatments.
