Researchers from UT Austin and UT MD Anderson Cancer Center may have found a new way to turn the immune system against cancer.

A chemotherapy therapy drug can make cancer cells mimic a viral infection, prompting the body to attack tumors more aggressively.

The discovery could potentially offer opportunities to lower the doses for chemotherapy: https://utex.as/3Q0q6pw

Experimental Chemo Drug May Trick the Immune System Into Fighting Cancer The findings suggest that inducing viral mimicry could not only boost immune attacks on tumors but also reduce chemotherapy doses and limit drug resistance over time.

Another one for the trophy case! 🏆 🧡
