Study Pairs Two Forms of Immunotherapy in Patients with Advanced Kidney Cancer
T cells revved up to attack tumors are turned into an army of loiterers. Cells keenly attuned to signals of infection or disease fail to pick up the faint notes of cancer. A clinical trial led by Dana-Farber researchers is addressing both of these issues in patients who have undergone surgery for kidney cancer but have a high risk of recurrence.

Dana-Farber Research Leads to Better Understanding of the Immune System in Kidney Cancer
In the last two decades, immunotherapy has emerged as a leading treatment for advanced renal carcinoma cancer (more commonly known as kidney cancer). This therapy is now part of the standard of care, but it doesn’t work for all patients, and almost all patients, no matter how they respond initially, become more resistant to treatment over time.
