Through T cell engineering, researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center show that it s possible to arrest tumor growth for a variety of cancers and squash the spread of cancer to other tissues. This research will be published in tomorrow s print edition of
Cancer Research.
The paper builds on decades of research by study co-senior author Paul B. Fisher, M.Ph., Ph.D., a member of Massey s Cancer Biology research program, who discovered a protein called IL-24 that attacks a variety of cancers in several different ways.
