For cancer to develop, your immune system must be worn out and ineffective. Making it unable to kill cancer cells as fast as they develop. Or you must have been exposed to a great deal of cancer causing toxins, radiation or some such thing. These can increase the development of cancer ce...

Therefore, to understand cancer fully, studies must move their focus from the cancer cell to the host and the microenvironment in which the cancer grows; a very important component of which is the immune system. As a result, a new picture of cancer is emerging and, in 2011, four ...
Cancer immune escape is the process whereby tumor cells prevent their elimination by the immune system1,2. Tumors acquire this capacity as a response to the accumulation of tumor-specific alterations, which may be presented—in the form of neoepitopes—by the major histocompatibility complex class ...
Harnessing the Immune System to Outsmart Cancer: Cutting-Edge Research and Innovations in Immuno-Oncology (hereafter referred to as symposium) is scheduled for August 2nd at the University of Hong Kong, with an expected attendance...
November 26, 2007 — New research suggests that the immune system plays a key role in cancer, possibly by transforming deadly disease into chronic illness. Published online November 21 inNature, the provocative finding shows that the immune system can control cancer by encouraging dormant cancer cel...
rather than immunogenic cell death for cancer treatment,” Yaffe says. “We showed that if you treated tumor cells in a dish, when you injected them back directly into the tumor and gave checkpoint blockade inhibitors, the live, injured cells were the ones that reawaken the immune system.”...
Chemotherapy drugs are designed to interfere with the cancer cell’s ability to divide and reproduce. Unfortunately, chemotherapy can also interfere with healthy cells, further weakening the patient’s immune system. To many, the treatments mean dealing with the pain and hoping things improve. ...
Immune system - Cancer Immunity, T-cells, Antigens: Cancer cells are normal body cells that have been altered in a manner that allows them to divide relentlessly, ignoring normal signals of restraint. As a result, cancer cells form clusters of cells, cal
Immune system, the complex group of defense responses found in humans and other advanced vertebrates that helps repel disease-causing entities. Immunity from disease is conferred by two cooperative defense systems: innate immunity and acquired immunity.
