Comment & Opinion

  • Crowdsourcing efforts are currently underway to collect and analyze data from patients with cancer who are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These community-led initiatives will fill key knowledge gaps to tackle crucial clinical questions on the complexities of infection with the causative coronavirus SARS-Cov-2 in the large, heterogeneous group of vulnerable patients with cancer.

  • Studies of the tumor microenvironment have provided fundamental insights into cancer progression. A new study now delineates the dynamics of immune-cell alterations at the single-cell level and across stages of multiple myeloma, elucidating the microenvironmental changes involved in the precursor states of the disease.

  • Immune-checkpoint blockade holds great promise in cancer therapy; however, T cell–specific checkpoint inhibitors are not effective for all patients with cancer. The transcription factor c-Rel is now shown to regulate pro-inflammatory polarization of myeloid cells and modulate anti-tumor immune responses.
