According to new scientific findings published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, immune responses has the ability to kill tumors before they can be directed toward normal body tissue. Lead researcher Richard G. Vile, Ph.D said, “There are extremely precise mechanistic methods augmenting the ability of the immune system to distinguish between normal tissues and tumors.” “Understanding the multiple checks and safeguards against autoimmunity should allow us to understand more closely how to generate antitumor immunity,” she added.
