Myeloid activation clears ascites and reveals IL27-dependent regression of metastatic ovarian cancer.

J Exp Med

December 2024

Immunology, Microenvironment and Metastasis Program, Ellen and Ronald Caplan Cancer Center, The Wistar Institute, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Patients with metastatic ovarian cancer (OvCa) have a 5-year survival rate of <30% due to the persisting dissemination of chemoresistant cells in the peritoneal fluid and the immunosuppressive microenvironment in the peritoneal cavity. Here, we report that intraperitoneal administration of β-glucan and IFNγ (BI) induced robust tumor regression in clinically relevant models of metastatic OvCa. BI induced tumor regression by controlling fluid tumor burden and activating localized antitumor immunity.
