Unleashing a safe and potent pro-senescence anti-tumor strategy

Cancer Cell. 2024 Apr 8;42(4):504-507. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2024.02.003. Epub 2024 Feb 29.

Abstract

Inducing senescence in tumor cells can stimulate anti-tumor immune responses. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Colucci et al. demonstrate that the combination of the RAR agonist Adapalene with the chemotherapy drug Docetaxel enhances tumor-suppressing senescence and activates an anti-tumor immune response through natural killer cells.
