Related Advances in Tumour Immunity

Cancer is a heterogeneous group of diseases and the immune tumour microenvironment is an important factor in the pathogenesis of many cancers. Immune patterns mediate the complex relationship between the heterogeneity of immune infiltrating cells, the tumourphenotype and the response to cancer therapy. After recognition by the immune system, tumours may be attacked by the immune system through immunosurveillance processes, with mucosal immunity representing the first line of defence, and cellular and humoral immunity also playing an important role in carcinogenesis and disease progression. The association of the patient's peripheral blood and tumour microenvironment also reveals the link between different types of cancer and immunology.
