The discovery could lead to more effective cancer immunotherapy, a promising treatment which uses the body&#8217;s own immune system, rather than radiation, to attack cancer cells. In an animal study, researchers found that a population of T cells called CD4-positive helper T cells helped start a chain of antitumor immunity defenses that allow killer cells to better infiltrate melanoma and breast cancer tumors.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2022\/05\/220531091523.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Discovery could lead to better cancer immunotherapy<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ScienceDaily&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A type of white blood cell previously known only as a helper in the immune system appears also to be the instigator of the body&#8217;s defenses against cancerous tumors.
