Inflammation and Immunity in Cancer
Inflammation and Immunity in Cancer
Inflammation and Immunity in Cancer by Tsukasa Seya and Misako Matsumoto
This book overviews cancer immunity from
broad scientific fields, based on the concept that cancer is a sort of
by-product of infection, inflammation, and host immune response. The
innate and acquired arms of the immune system mainly participate in
tumor immune surveillance, and their activation is critically modulated
by the situation of the tumor microenvironment. Many types of immune
cells join the formation of the microenvironment. In particular,
macrophages and dendritic cells enter the tumor mass to be main players
in the inflammatory milieu of tumors. After introducing these topics,
the book discusses immunotherapy for cancer patients as an outgrowth of
this concept of infection and inflammation.
With the contributions of leading scientists actively involved in the field of antitumor immunity study, this book encourages readers to understand the mechanism of general cancers based on inflammation and will facilitate prevention and the development of therapeutics for cancer.
