MYC Cancer Gene Suppresses Immune Alarm Signals to Protect Pancreatic Tumors

MYC cancer gene suppresses immune alarm signals to protect pancreatic tumors

The cancer gene MYC camouflages tumors by suppressing alarm signals that normally activate the immune system.

High‑MYC Tumors Evade the Immune System by Clearing R‑Loop Alarm Signals

MYC‑driven tumors silence innate immune alarms by clearing R‑loop–derived signals, exposing a new therapeutic angle for targeting MYC without broad inhibition.

Decoded: How cancer cells protect themselves from the immune system

22.01.2026 - The cancer gene MYC camouflages tumours by suppressing alarm signals that normally activate the immune system. This finding from a new study offers a promising way to improve existing cancer therapies as well as develop new ones.
