Anti Tumor Immunity
Anti-tumor immunity refers to the body’s natural and therapeutic immune responses that recognize and eliminate cancer cells. It involves both innate and adaptive immune mechanisms, including cytotoxic T lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and immune signaling molecules such as cytokines and chemokines. These components work together to detect tumor-associated antigens, overcome immune evasion strategies used by cancer cells, and suppress tumor growth and metastasis. Advances in cancer immunology have led to transformative therapies—such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, cancer vaccines, adoptive cell therapies, and monoclonal antibodies—that harness or enhance anti-tumor immunity to improve patient outcomes.
