摘要: In the last decade, role of immune system in cancer pathology has received growing attention. Immune populations, such as T and B lymphocytes, NK cells, macrophages, are able to mount an anti-tumor response, which can impair tumor growth. Nonetheless, progression is usually associated with expansion additional cell subsets that inhibit natural immunity tumors actively support growth, invasion, metastasis. Their presence represents obstacle effectiveness immunotherapy. Cells myeloid origin strong immunosuppressive tumor-promoting properties, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), major players this process.
