❓ How does aging affect the immune cells infiltrating tumors?
➡️ As we age, our circulating blood and immune cells can develop mutations called clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).

🧬 Personalized cancer vaccines (PCV) train the immune system to recognize mutations unique to a patient's tumor, helping the body mount a targeted immune response.
❓ Can this approach help prevent renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from returning after surgery?
