It has been proposed that tumor cell-intrinsic STING enhances tumor immunogenicity by increasing immune cell activation and triggering tumor cell regression.
“it has been proposed that tumor cell-intrinsic STING enhances tumor immunogenicity by increasing immune cell activation and triggering tumor cell regression.47–49”
From Functional tumor cell-intrinsic STING, not host STING, drives local and systemic antitumor immunity and therapy efficacy following cryoablation (2023) · cites this paper as [49]
The Results section reports that tumors lacking STING had poorer control after radiation and fewer activated, tumor-specific CD8+ T cells, supporting a role for tumor cell–intrinsic STING in antitumor immunity. The evidence is specific to radiation-treated tumors; it reports tumor control rather than explicitly showing that STING triggers tumor regression more generally. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPrevious studies have suggested that the tumor cell-intrinsic STING pathway may be essential in triggering antitumor immunity in other contexts.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
