[Immune response dynamics during malignant tumor development]

Several mathematical models for the development of immune reaction during cancer diseases were plotted. The models describe both stimulation of the immune system by the tumor and its suppression. Non-specific inhibition was considered which resulted from glucose deficiency accompanying the development of a malignant tumor. The inhibiting effect of antitumour antibodies on toxic influence of limphocytes-killers was taken into account. The qualitative and quantitative study of the models showed the limits for the description of real interactions between tumour and organism by the mechanisms stated.
