New treatment re-sensitises advanced prostate cancers to treatment by stopping tumours hijacking myeloid white blood cells to help fuel their growth. Prostate cancer’s resistance to treatment can be reversed in some patients by stopping hijacked white blood cells from being ‘pulled into’ tumours, according to new research published in Nature. In an early clinical trial, researchers showed that blocking the messages cancer uses to hijack white blood cells can re-sensitise a subset of advanced prostate cancers to treatment – shrinking tumours or halting their growth...
