The immune system of the host responds to tumor growth as it does to infectious agents, with specific (e.g. T cells and antibodies) and non-specific (e.g. natural killer cells and cytokines) effector and regulatory mechanisms. The immune response reduces the number of tumors arising in the host, but is no longer effective against established tumors. Tumor immunotherapy is the attempt to elicit a therapeutic immune response in cancer patients.

Abstract
The immune system of the host responds to tumor growth as it does to infectious agents, with specific (e.g. T cells and antibodies) and non-specific (e.g. natural killer cells and cytokines) effector and regulatory mechanisms. The immune response reduces the number of tumors arising in the host, but is no longer effective against established tumors. Tumor immunotherapy is the attempt to elicit a therapeutic immune response in cancer patients.File in questo prodotto:
