The link between immune system dysfunction and cancer is well-established. This review focuses on primary immunodeficiency disorders in humans and their increased risk of developing malignancies.

Area of Science:

Immunology
Oncology
Human Genetics

Background:

Extensive research over 15 years highlights a strong connection between immune system deviations and cancer development.
A significant body of literature links experimental immunodeficiency models to increased cancer incidence.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the relationship between immunologic deviation and cancer.
To focus on malignancies in patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders.

Main Methods:

Literature review of experimental immunodeficiency and cancer.
Analysis of human primary immunodeficiency disorders and associated malignancies.

Main Results:

Accumulating evidence supports a critical link between immune system impairment and cancer.
