Abstract:The tumor microenvironment encompasses complex interactions between diverse cell types including those of the immune system. Tumor–immune interactions occur in all phases of cancer, where the immune system can either eliminate or reach an equilibrium with cancer. These processes eventually lead to overt malignant growth because of active tumor-based immune suppression. The design of efficient immunotherapies depends on deepening our understanding of these complex immune mechanisms. Not only do advanced biomate… Show more
