Using data from over 100,000 malignant and non-malignant cells from 15 human brain metastases, UCSF researchers have revealed two functional archetypes of metastatic cells across 7 different types of brain tumors, each containing both immune and non-immune cell types.
UCSF researchers found that cancers from different parts of the body are immunologically similar to one another. They described 12 classes of "immune archetypes" to classify cancer tumors, which can provide unique strategies for enhancing patients’ choice of cancer immunotherapies.
