One of the most exciting fields in all of biomedical research right now is oncoimmunology. The premise has be with certain aggressive cancers stopped in their tracks or even eliminated by a provoked or unleashed immune response. But cancer is a difficult foe, and immunology is far from simple, so it’s been a difficult feat to achieve. en around for decades, and on the surface it is simple: Get a cancer patient's immune system to recognize cancer cells as foreign, as they do a virus or bacterium, and mount a response to kill them For example, chronic inflammation, a hallmark of many cancers, has been shown to involve an immune system response that becomes altered to support cancer expansion instead of eliminating it.
