While the role of endogenous T cells in antitumor immunity is being debated, little is known
about whether and how T cells promote tumorigenesis. In this issue of Cancer Cell,
DeNardo and colleagues demonstrate that IL-4-producing T cells enhance metastasis by
programming macrophages to produce factors that enhance tumor invasion.
