Immunosurveillance in esophageal carcinoma: The decisive impact of regulatory T cells.

abstract：:The benefits of anti-cancer agents extend beyond direct tumor killing. One aspect of cell death is the potential to release antigens that initiate adaptive immune responses. Here, a diffusion enhanced formulation, INT230-6, containing potent anti-cancer cytotoxic agents, was administered intratumorally into large (app...
