    Ms.


    In her desperate moment, an immunotherapy trial appeared in front of her.


    The trial called "ADAPTeR" that she participated in was carried out by the Francis Crick Institute and was mainly used to explore immunotherapy related to kidney cancer


    With the aid of the ADAPTeR trial, researchers have an opportunity to understand the reason and help patients increase the sensitivity of treatment


    After analyzing all levels of genes, viruses, and tumor microenvironment, they found that a special type of T cell surface receptor has an important relationship with whether an individual responds to immunotherapy

    According to their observations, after the immune system perceives that these cells can attack tumors, the number of these cells will continue to rise


    Research points out that perhaps by detecting the number of specific T cells and T cell receptors in a patient, doctors can guess whether the patient can benefit from immunotherapy


    For patients who are about to use immunotherapy, doctors may be able to detect their T cell response in advance, increasing the possibility of effective treatment
