Niche engineering drives early passage through an immune bottleneck in progression to colorectal cancer
2019-05-03
Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer develops from its precursor lesion, the adenoma. The immune system is hypothesized to be key in modulating progression, but tumor-immune eco-evolutionary dynamics remain uncharacterized. Here, we demonstrate a key role for immune evasion in the progression of human benign disease to colorectal cancer. We constructed a mathematical model of tumor-immune eco-evolutionary dynamics that predicted eco...
