Abstract
Cancer Immunotherapy Cancer immunotherapy attempts to stimulate the patient's immune system against a tumor, but it can be limited by the suppressive effects of the patient's own regulatory T (Treg) cells. Nie et al. showed that coinhibiting a TNF (tumor necrosis factor) receptor reduced Treg cell activity and proliferation, stimulated antitumor immune memory, and even shrank colon and breast tumors in mice that were unresponsive to common single-agent immunotherapies. Thus, adding anti-TNF therapeutics may help to increase and broaden the efficacy of immunotherapy for cancer patients. Sci. Signal. 10 , eaan0790 (2018).
