New immunotherapy to beat cancer.

Sophie Lucas (UCLouvain de Duve Institute) and her team succeeded in neutralising a molecule that blocks the immune system against cancer.

UCLouvain scientists discovered that this new immunotherapy increases the action of another well-known but not always effective immunotherapy, and that it makes tumour regression possible

This very promising discovery in the fight against cancer is published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature Communications

That sounds really good news. Do you think it is all types of cancer.?

It is a complement immunotherapy to work with and enhance existing immunotherapies, so yes if there is an immunotherapy for any particular cancer then it should work.
