Scientists discovered that cancer cells release antioxidants as a mechanism to prevent immune cells from destroying them. This revelation demonstrates a previously unknown strategy that cancer uses to evade the immune system.
One of the conclusions considered surprising by researchers is that antioxidants are not always beneficial in the context of cancer, contradicting the common belief that these substances are uniformly useful in cancer treatment. This discovery represents a significant advance in understanding how cancer develops and resists the body's defenses.
