Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed an experimental immunotherapy that takes an unconventional approach to metastatic cancer. Rather than targeting cancer cells directly, the new strategy—which they suggest is akin to that of the Trojan horse—targets the tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that protect the tumor and keep the tumor microenvironment [...]
