Patterns of immune equilibrium and escape in indolent and progressing tumors

Cancer Cell. 2023 Aug 14;41(8):1389-1391. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2023.06.003. Epub 2023 Jul 6.

Abstract

By comparing indolent/slowly progressing with aggressive/rapidly progressing tumor types, Pandey et al. identify human evidence of immune equilibrium in indolent tumors and immune escape in progressing tumors, suggesting a link between these mechanisms and the epidemiologic phenomenon of overdiagnosis.
