A tale of two tumours: Comparison of the immune escape strategies of contagious cancers

30 Nov 2012

Abstract excerpt

The adaptive immune system should prevent cancer cells passing from one individual to another, in much the same way that it protects against pathogens. However, in rare cases cancer cells do not die within a single individual, but successfully pass between individuals, escaping the adaptive immune response and becoming a contagious cancer.
