Overview
- The interplay between tumors and their immunologic microenvironment is complex, difficult to decipher, but its understanding is of seminal importance for the development of novel prognostic markers and therapeutic strategies.
- The present review discusses tumor-immune interactions in several human cancers that illustrate various aspects of this complexity and proposes an integrated scheme of the impact of local immune reactions on clinical outcome.
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

From the reviews:
“This book comprises 13 reviews, contributed by members of a cross-section of groups working in the … field of cancer immunology. … this book is at its best when considering small and apparently discrete topics – its strength comes from being able to read all of these ideas on one place. … Overall, this book gives a thorough and detailed overview of the current state of basic and translational research into cancer immunology … . It’s probably most appropriate for researchers … .” (Victoria Lawson, Immunology News, November, 2011)Editors and Affiliations
