Adjuvant immunotherapy + hormone therapy may counteract immune-suppression in early-stage prostate cancer, Mayo-led study finds

UCLA scientists identify clues to making immunotherapy more effective against glioblastoma

Two studies led by researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center provide insight into how the immune system can successfully be activated against glioblastoma while revealing why these therapies have historically fallen short.

Wistar Institute study identifies immunotherapy strategy for glioblastoma

Scientists at the Wistar Institute have identified a combination treatment that overcomes two of the biggest barriers to immunotherapy in glioblastoma. The researchers showed that reprogramming myeloid cells, a type of immune cell that glioblastoma tumors co-opt to protect themselves, while simultaneously boosting cancer-fighting T cells shrank the tumors and prevented them from coming back.

Decipher prostate test predicts benefit from adding hormone therapy to radiation, phase III trial shows

Decipher Prostate Genomic Classifier can predict which patients are more likely to benefit from adding short-term ADT, or androgen deprivation therapy, to dose-escalated radiation, providing both Level 1B1 prognostic and predictive evidence, according to a retrospective ancillary analysis of the randomized phase III NRG/RTOG 0815 trial.

UT Austin study uncovers new driver of immunotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic tumors can resist immunotherapy by recruiting nearby immune cells to help protect them, according to researchers at The University of Texas at Austin. The findings, published in Nature Communications, also point to a potential new strategy for overcoming resistance and improving cellular therapies.

Salk institue team discovers novel pathway, provides insights to combat immunotherapy resistance

Why do signaling proteins called interferons, which recruit the immune system to attack cancer cells, start helping the tumor grow rather than shrink when they linger too long?
