1693-Chemotherapy Enhances Cancer Vaccine Efficacy
Research demonstrates that the chemotherapy combination CarboTaxol acts as a tumor-independent immunological adjuvant that significantly enhances the efficacy of therapeutic cancer vaccines. Specifically, the chemotherapy promotes an early expansion of stem-like TCF1+CD8+ T cells during vaccine priming, a process that relies heavily on downstream TCF1/β-catenin transcriptional activity. This expansion provides a crucial precursor reservoir that ultimately improves anti-tumor immunity, tumor control, and overall survival rates in murine models. Furthermore, human patient data from both ovarian…
