Oncoimmunology

Oncoimmunology is a field of research that studies the relationship between cancer and the immune system. It explores how our immune system can recognize and fight cancer cells, as well as how tumors can evade or suppress immune responses. This knowledge has led to the development of innovative treatments, like immunotherapies, which enhance the body's natural defenses to attack cancer. By understanding this interaction, scientists aim to improve cancer treatments and outcomes, harnessing the power of the immune system to target and destroy cancer more effectively.
