Common metabolic enzyme could predict cancer immunotherapy benefits—and help more patients respond
medicalxpress - Immunotherapies have transformed cancer treatment by helping the immune system recognize and attack tumors. They work for only about 20% of patients, though, and doctors still struggle to predict who will benefit.
AI Summary: New research identifies a common metabolic enzyme as a potential biomarker predicting benefit from cancer immunotherapy, and investigators propose that controlling intracellular metabolite routing could enhance responses. Together, these findings suggest metabolic pathways are both useful predictors and actionable targets to convert non‑responders into responders.
