Intratumoral TNFα improves immunotherapy

Solid tumors are frequently resistant to immunotherapy. We demonstrated that low-dose tumor necrosis factorα (TNFα), when directly targeted to the tumor environment, exerts dual effects by improving vessel functionality and activating immune cells. This vascular remodeling in an inflammatory context...

Sumario:Solid tumors are frequently resistant to immunotherapy. We demonstrated that low-dose tumor necrosis factorα (TNFα), when directly targeted to the tumor environment, exerts dual effects by improving vessel functionality and activating immune cells. This vascular remodeling in an inflammatory context enhances active immunotherapy and promotes tumor regression.
