Oral Health News, Neutrophil and cancer cell ‘crosstalk’ underlies oral cancer metastasis
According to Dr. Marco Magalhaes, an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Dentistry and lead researcher in a study published in the journal Cancer Immunology Research. Call: An abnormal immune response or “feedback loop” could very well be the underlying cause of metastases in oral cancers. Dr Magalhaes has unearthed a significant connection between the inflammatory response of a very specific form of immune cells, neutrophils, and the spread of this deadly disease.
