Lung tumors rewire immune cells in the bone marrow before they reach cancer sites

Lung tumors don't just evade the immune system. They reshape it at its source. Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators report in the September 10 online issue of Nature that tumors rewire immune cells in the bone marrow before they even reach the cancer, suggesting a new target to enhance the durability of current immunotherapy

Combination immunotherapy prior to surgery shows encouraging results in mesothelioma

Results from an early phase clinical trial presented this week at the World Conference on Lung Cancer Meeting in Barcelona, Spain, and published in the Nature Medicine journal today [Monday, 8th September 2025] show that patients with mesothelioma - a rare cancer of the lining of the lung that may be caused by exposure to asbestos - who received a combination of two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab, before surgery had successful surgeries and encouraging early outcomes.

New tool can predict where deadly brain cancer might reappear

Glioblastoma is a devastatingly effective brain cancer. Doctors can cut it out or blast it with radiation, but that only buys time. The cancer has an insidious ability to hide enough tumor cells in tissue around the tumor to allow it to return as deadly as ever.
