Blood-Based Immune Profiling for Early Detection of Brain Cancer
-
T-cell recognition of cancer has transformed cancer treatment.
-
This recognition has not yet been applied to improve early cancer detection.
-
Our work shows that T-cells recognizing a common neo-antigen presented on glioma (a brain tumour) can be leveraged for detection.
-
These tumour-specific T-cells can be identified from a peripheral blood sample, enabling tumour detection.
