New research reveals why some esophageal cancers are so hard to treat

Rákkutatás · Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

High chromosomal instability drives aggressive esophageal adenocarcinoma by activating genes that recruit inflammatory immune cells, thereby creating an immune‑suppressive microenvironment that protects the tumour from conventional therapies.

The findings may help to explain why some of the most aggressive types of esophageal cancers are particularly resistant to existing therapies and point to new potential treatment strategies.
