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

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.
