<p><strong>Worldwide, about 40 percent of all children and adolescents with cancer die from their disease. Accurate cancer diagnostics and access to appropriate therapies could significantly improve the success of treatment. With the recently launched "MNP Outreach" program, the Hopp Children's Cancer Center Heidelberg (KiTZ), the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) aim to provide low-income countries worldwide with free access to modern precision diagnostics. This project is supported by Illumina and the organization BILD hilft e.V. “Ein Herz für Kinder". </strong></p>

Brain tumor cells with a certain common mutation reprogram invading immune cells. This leads to the paralysis of the body s immune defense against the tumor in the brain.

These results confirm that therapeutic vaccines or immunotherapies are more effective against brain tumors if active substances are simultaneously used to promote the suppressed immune system.
