Our Lab on the News: Intragenic Rearrangement Could Hold the Key to Improved Immunotherapy

A new discovery from our lab reveals that tumors with a high intragenic rearrangement (IGR) burden may respond more favorably to immune checkpoint blockades, offering a new hope for cancer patients that have a low tumor mutation burden. This discovery may pave the way to more effective immunotherapy treatments in the future.
