Bevacizumab improves tumor infiltration of mature dendritic cells and effector T-cells in triple-negative breast cancer patients

NPJ Precis Oncol. 2021 Jun 29;5(1):62. doi: 10.1038/s41698-021-00197-w.

Abstract

A single dose of bevacizumab reduced the density of angiopoietin-2-positive vessels while improving the infiltration of CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells, and mature dendritic cells in patients with primary triple-negative breast cancer. Our findings provide a rationale for including bevacizumab during neoadjuvant treatment to enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockers in this disease.
