New tool reveals disruption of immune cells in blood is linked to cancer outcomes.

Cancer patients had a lower proportion of T cells circulating in the blood compared to healthy individuals.

T cell proportion was found to be a strong predictor of cancer outcomes, with higher proportions associated with 47% fewer deaths over a five-year period after surgery.

B cells producing IgM/D antibodies in the blood were the only type of B cell associated with improved survival outcomes of cancer patients.

These cells may play a key role in anti-tumour immunity.

They also have potential as a new biological marker for cancer diagnosis.
