Cancer uses antioxidants to disarm the immune system, scientists discover

Scientists have discovered that tumors release natural antioxidants to shut down immune cells responsible for destroying cancer, exploiting a weakness in the body's defenses. In mice, blocking this mechanism restored immune activity and improved immunotherapy responses, potentially opening a new path toward more effective cancer treatments; the evidence remains at the animal-model stage.
