Tumor & Immunity
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.
