Abstract
Multiple non-redundant immunosuppressive pathways are active within the microenvironment of cancers to avoid tumor eradication by the immune system. Our results demonstrate that the CD73-adenosine pathway is a major immunosuppressive mechanism co-opted by ovarian tumors to escape antitumor immunity. In ovarian cancer patients, high CD73 expression correlates with poor outcome and impaired CD8(+) T cell immunosurveillance.Entities:
