Type of chemotherapy has substantial effects on the immune system in ovarian cancer
Chemotherapy induces a variety of immunological changes. Studying these effects can reveal opportunities for successful combining chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Immuno-chemotherapeutic combinations in ovarian cancer are currently not generating the anticipated positive effects. To date, only scatte...

In contrast, carboplatin-gemcitabine seemed to promote a hostile immune environment with an increase in regulatory T-cells in tumor tissue and an increase of macrophage-inflammatory-protein-1-beta in the serum.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1936523321000681Ovarian cancerChemotherapyMDSCCarboplatin-paclitaxelImmunosuppression |
