T cells CD4+/CD8+ local immune modulation by prostate cancer hemi-cryoablation

Purpose Tumors escape from the immune system by decreasing CD8+ and increasing CD4+ T cells’ activity, druggable targets. Thermal ablation might activate tumor-specific T cells by raising the presentation of tumor-specific antigens and hindering tumor negative immune regulation. Our aim was to asses...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose Tumors escape from the immune system by decreasing CD8+ and increasing CD4+ T cells’ activity, druggable targets. Thermal ablation might activate tumor-specific T cells by raising the presentation of tumor-specific antigens and hindering tumor negative immune regulation. Our aim was to assess T cell infiltrate pre- and post-cryoablation in a prospective observational study. Methods A total of 240 sextant prostate biopsies cores (12 cores/patient) were collected from 10 unilateral prostate cancer patients (T1c, PSA density
