Tumor immune cells can help cancer treatments, study finds

Washington DC : Analysts in a recent study have developed an innovative technique for detecting differences between immune cells in tumors that may accelerate the immune system. development of cancer treatments.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh badyzed anonymized medical database genes from thousands of tumors to identify genes badociated with immune cells. The findings of the study are published in the Journal of Cancer Immunology Research.

Scientists have stated that this approach could be used to help physicians select the best treatments for each patient and predict which tumors are likely to respond to a particular treatment.

It could also help target the use of immunotherapy – a new form of treatment that uses the body's own defenses to fight cancer. This therapy has been very promising in recent years, but identifying the patients who will respond best is a challenge for physicians

The new approach – based on gene badysis – facilitates the detection of the range of immune cells present in a tumor. Scientists say these cells could help the body detect and kill cancer when activated by certain drugs.

Traditional treatments, such as radiology, do not distinguish between cell types and attack cancer cells and healthy cells, often resulting in side effects.
