Tumors and the immune response interact in various ways. Tumors try to suppress the immune response in an effort to promote their growth and survival. The anti-tumor immune response, on the other hand, identifies tumor cells and kills them. Both tumors and the immune response elicit various mechanisms to combat the actions of the other.
There has been a great deal of renewed attention in immuno-oncology over the last decade. Therapies for cancer are being developed, approved, and administered that can either initiate,...
