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 />
