Recent study presented at #SITC25 using novel mouse models of aging to investigate the effects of aging on specific T cell populations, anti-cancer immunity, and cancer metastasis. Results provide insights on new age-specific therapeutic strategies and targets to treat metastatic disease in elderly patients with cancer. Read this excellent study in #JITC: jitc.bmj.com/content/13/Supp…
