AllergoOncology: Emerging Translational and Clinical Significance of Basophils and Mast Cells in Cancer
Immune cells tied to allergies influence tumor growth in contradictory ways, and new allergy tests may help predict immunotherapy side effects.
This review summarizes the emerging field of AllergoOncology, showing that basophils and mast cells have dual tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressing roles in the TME. Translational tools like the basophil activation test (BAT) may predict hypersensitivity to cancer immunotherapies.
