A renaissance for the tumor immunosurveillance hypothesis

Article Abstract:

Research presented concerns the theory that the immune system can provide surveillance against cancer, focusing on the molecular mechanisms involved in immunosurveillance for spontaneous tumors, or tumors induced by carcinogens. Research suggests that T cells that express the alphabeta-T-cell receptor have a role in the prevention of cutaneous cancer caused by carcinogens.

Article Abstract:
