New Cancer Immunotherapy Activates Necroptosis Mechanisms

While traditional chemo- and radiotherapeutic interventions are effective in reducing tumor size, they unfortunately also affect healthy cells. For decades, scientists have known that the immune system is a more accurate weapon that has evolved to recognize and eliminate disease-causing cells. However, until recently researchers have had difficulties activating the immune system to recognize tumors, as cancer cells employ a range of different strategies to confuse and thwart the immune system.
