Lymphocyte response to transitional cell carcinoma: peripheral cytotoxicity and local tumor infiltration
The Journal of Urology
|December 1, 1977
Abstract:
The cytotoxicity of peripheral lymphocytes from patients with transitional cell carcinoma was evaluated and the results were compared to the degree of local lymphocytic infiltration in the bed of the primary tumor. Although a clear correlation was not established local lymphocytic infiltration was associated more commonly with tumor-related peripheral lymphocyte cytotoxicity.

Overview
01:27Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response
Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

01:27Tumor Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.
