A new perspective: Exploring future therapeutic strategies for cancer by understanding the dual role of B lymphocytes in tumor immunity

Abstract excerpt

Our previous understanding of the role of B lymphocytes in tumor immunity is its antitumor effects. However, further evidence indicates B lymphocytes can also promote tumorigenesis by modulating immune responses. Therefore, the increasingly complex role of B lymphocytes in tumor immunity may become an important factor in tumor immunotherapy. In this review, we describe the development of B cells in tumor...
