New approach to immunotherapy provokes a robust anti-tumor immune response in preclinical models

A new approach to cancer immunotherapy that uses one type of immune cell to kill another - rather than directly attacking the cancer - provokes a robust anti-tumor immune response that shrinks ovarian, lung, and pancreatic tumors in preclinical disease models, according to researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.
