A1 - Nussbaum, Jesse A1 - Schwartz, Brian PY - 2020 T2 - Review of Medical Microbiology & Immunology: A Guide to Clinical Infectious Diseases, 16e AB - One of the key functions of the immune system is to patrol the body for cancer cells in order to kill these cells before they become malignant tumors. In this chapter we will discuss (1) how the immune system is able to recognize cancer cells; (2) how cancer cells evolve to hide from and suppress the immune system; and (3) how recent advances in immunotherapy overcome these strategies to re-invigorate the immune system’s killing mechanisms.
