    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Tumor immunity involves both cellular and humoral immune responses.
    • Immune cells like T cells, macrophages, and K cells can target neoplastic cells.
    • Cancer patients often exhibit suppressed cellular immune functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review mechanisms of tumor immunity.
    • To outline principles of cancer immunotherapy.
    • To highlight immunotherapy's potential as an adjuvant therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on tumor immunity.
    • Discussion of immunological principles relevant to cancer.
    • Description of various cancer immunotherapy modalities.

    Main Results:
