Abstract
The site of metastatic disease influences treatment response. A recent study in Cancer Cell by Cheng et al. revealed that bone metastases systemically impair immune function, abrogating immunotherapy response. Bone metastases led to osteopontin (OPN) production, which suppressed immunity in distal lesions. This highlights a novel cross-organ communication hindering antitumor immunity.
