Cellular keys to cancer survival/treatment resistance have been unlocked. Scientists including TRI-based @aruthak mapped the tissue microenvironment to identify immune cells linked to living longer with disease in remission. The work is in The @australian. https://t.co/tV92qHJYOj

In a world-first discovery from the @Qld_SBC , doctors can now check hundreds of markers in a single biopsy to show which treatments, like #immunotherapy, #chemotherapy or #radiotherapy, will work best for patients with head and neck #cancer. Learn more https://t.co/jgP8RLsQ4Y
