Dr Felix Marsh-Wakefield, from the Centenary Institute’s Centre for Cancer Innovations and the University of Sydney, has been interviewed on the 2GB Healthy Living program.
In the interview he talked about his latest research into liver cancer, and more specifically, about the role of immune cells found in liver tumour areas.
“We discovered that a particular type of immune cell produces VEGF, a protein crucial for the formation and function of blood vessels that help tumours grow and spread,” says Dr Marsh-Wakefield.
“By targeting this immune cell, we may be able to develop a new treatment approach that disrupts the tumour’s blood supply, hindering its growth and spread.”
