THE TLR4-DEPENDENT FIBROBLAST-MONOCYTE AXIS IN TUMOUR-DRAINING LYMPH NODES CONTRIBUTES TO METASTASIS IN TRIPLE-NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER

Angela Riedel and her research group are investigating how tumour cells escape the immune system, with a focus on the lymph nodes. Their latest findings, which have just been published in the journal Immunity, point to new treatment strategies for triple-negative breast cancer. These could one day pave the way for further translational research to make immunotherapies more effective, reduce the risk of metastasis and improve survival rates for patients with aggressive breast cancer.
