[The role of immunosurveillance and immunoediting in hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes].

Abstract excerpt

Immunosurveillance is the ability of the immune system to detect preneoplastic lesions as well as primary tumors. Immunoediting, on the other hand, includes all tumor-immune interactions and can be subdivided into three steps according to the outcome. During elimination, which can correspond to immunosurveillance, the immune system is able to eradicate immunogenic preneoplastic lesions or tumors. During the...
