The cream you can pick up at the pharmacy that can help fight skin cancer Research shows common steroid creams can shrink melanoma tumours

This story has been reported in a number of newspapers today. The research began with investigating topical treatments to boost immunotherapy, but longer-term is focused on blocking the protein Garp, which protects tumour cells from the immune system, with treatments that are under development.

Glucocorticoids Unleash Immune-dependent Melanoma Control Through Inhibition Of The GARP/TGF β Axis | Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute This study uncovers a surprising role for GCs in triggering CD8+ T cell–dependent tumour control through downregulation of GARP and thus TGF β signalling.

Exciting new research from our Cancer Inflammation and Immunity Group led by @santiagozelenay.bsky.social on the counterintuitive effects of steroids to enhance responses to immunotherapy in #melanoma
