Brief description Tumors grow in part because they escape destruction by the immune system. New blood vessels grow inside tumors by a process called angiogenesis, which then stops cancer-fighting cells in their tracks. We hypothesise that breaking down the blood-tumor barrier will open tumors for attack by the cancer-fighting immune system. This proposal continues our work on reversal of angiogenesis in the context of immunotherapy. We expect these findings to lead to highly effective anti-tumor therapies.
