Tumor-trained T cells go on patrol

(Garvan Institute of Medical Research) In cancer, immune cells infiltrate tumors -- but it hasn't been known which immune cells exit the tumor or where they go next.Garvan researchers have shown that activated T cells are the main immune cell to leave tumors, and that these T cells move to other tumors and to draining lymph nodesThe findings will inform the development of T-cell-based immunotherapies for metastatic cancer.
