Systemic iron sequestration restricts the intratumoral CD8+ T cell landscape in pancreas cancer

Systemic iron sequestration occurs frequently in cancer due to inflammation-driven expression of the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin. The impact of systemic iron availability on tumoral immunity is unclear. Here, we show that elevated serum hepcidin is associated with reduced survival and decreased intratumoral CD8+ T...
