Overcoming immunosuppression as a new immunotherapeutic approach against pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest types of malignancy. Via a broad stimulation of the immune system, PDAC activates both antitumor immune responses and immunosuppressive mechanisms. We propose that new immunotherapeutic strategies for the management of PDAC should be de...

Description
Summary:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest types of malignancy. Via a broad stimulation of the immune system, PDAC activates both antitumor immune responses and immunosuppressive mechanisms. We propose that new immunotherapeutic strategies for the management of PDAC should be designed to specifically neutralize the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.
