Immune cells function<br />
to eliminate tumor<br />
Immunogenic tumor cells<br />
undergo elimination<br />
Immune cells function<br />
to facilitate tumor<br />
progression<br />
Immunoevasive tumor<br />
cells co-opt inflammatory<br />
signals<br />
The immune<br />
system performs<br />
tumor surveillance<br />
Inflammation<br />
induced cancer<br />
Figure 1 : The anti-tumor response represents a unique model for studying cell fate<br />
decisions. Unresolved questions include: Which immune cells/effector molecules<br />
participate in cancer immunosurveillance/immunoediting and/or tumor promoting<br />
inflammation? What characteristics of the tumor influence the function of infiltrating<br />
immune cells? How can immune function be harnessed for clinical benefit?<br />
