Reciprocal Changes in Tumor Antigenicity and Antigen-specific T Cell Function during Tumor Progression
Two seemingly incompatible models exist to explain the progression of cancers in immunocompetent hosts. The cancer immunosurveillance hypothesis posits that recognition of transformed cells by the immune system results in the generation of an effector response that may impede tumor growth. Clinicall...
