Blood Regulatory T Cell Changes May Precede Lung Cancer Formation, Nature Study Finds

A UCL-led study published in Nature examines whether immune changes in blood precede lung cancer formation. The work, Gamble S et al., 'A preinvasive regulatory T cell axis for lung cancer interception', investigates regulatory T cells as a potential axis for intercepting lung cancer before it becomes invasive. The findings point to blood immune-cell changes as a possible early marker of disease.
