Preinvasive lung immune dynamics — a research article examining how regulatory T cell circuits evolve before cancer and could guide interception strategies.

A preinvasive regulatory T cell axis for lung cancer interception
Key Takeaways
  • Here, we systematically explore T cell dynamics during clinical and experimental preinvasive pulmonary progression to identify immune regulatory pathways that could inform NSCLC interception.
  • We discover a clonally coordinated cross-tissue eT reg cell circuit that progressively intensifies during carcinogenesis.
  • These data establish an eT reg cell-centred immunological framework to detect and target preinvasive pulmonary progression, which may inform clinical strategies for lung cancer interception.
