Breakthrough could allow potent personalised treatments which prime patients’ own immune systems to attack biological markers on tumoursA landmark discovery into the genetic makeup of tumours has the potential to open a novel front in the war on cancer,delivering potent therapies that are tailored to individual patients, scientists absorb said.
The breakthrough comes from research into the genetic complexity of lung and skin cancers which found that even as tumours grow and spread around the body, and they carry with them a number of biological “flags” that the immune system can be primed to attack.
