Carcinogen-exposed cells provide clues in fighting treatment-resistant cancers

This study explores for the first time how the mutation-independent effect of environmental carcinogens leads to the recruitment of CD8+ T cells, the dominant antitumor cell type. Research raises the possibility of an injection of a chemokine known as CCL21 into a tumor to induce an antitumor response through CD8+ T cells.
