New pancreatic cancer treatment ‘wakes up’ immune cells, researchers say
Scientists have created a new antibody treatment that helps the immune system recognize and attack pancreatic cancer.Pancreatic cancer cells use a sugary "disguise" to trick the immune system into ignoring them.Most current cancer immunotherapies target proteins or genes, but this new therapy focuses on the sugars on the cell surface, blocking them so that immune cells can find and attack the cancer, according to researchers from Northwestern University in Chicago.CANCER […]
