HDAC inhibition may boost immune therapy efficacy in breast cancer


 

REPORTING FROM THE NCCN ANNUAL CONFERENCE


Should the novel strategy tested in this study for converting breast cancers into immune responsive tumors facilitate improved response to immune checkpoint agents, it has the potential to significantly extend survival in breast cancer patients, she concluded.

This study was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health, Bloomberg Kimmel Institute for Immunotherapy, NCCN, and the Mary Kay Foundation, as well as a V Foundation award. Dr. Connolly reported having no disclosures
