A new study finds that activating the SOX17 gene allows early-stage colon cancer cells to escape immune detection, presenting a potential target for preventing colon cancer.
A new study finds that activating the SOX17 gene allows early-stage colon cancer cells to escape immune detection, presenting a potential target for preventing colon cancer . Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified one strategy that helps these precancerous cells avoid immune detection by turning on the SOX17 gene.
If scientists could block SOX17 function or its activating pathway, it may offer a new way to treat early-stage cancers.
