How pancreatic tumors use the MYC protein to evade immune detection

An international research team has succeeded in deciphering a key mechanism that controls the growth of pancreatic cancers. The scientists identified a potential central mechanism by which cancer cells protect themselves from attack by the body’s own immune system. Blocking this mechanism resulted in a dramatic reduction in tumors in laboratory animals. Could this mark a shift in how we think about cancer therapy?
