Immune Paralysis and the Spontaneous Remission of Cancer
Journal Title: International Journal of Cancer and Clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Once a malignant growth grows past a certain size immune tolerance rather than immune sensitization occurs possibly due to the slow tumor growth. As the malignant grows larger some branches of the immune system (adoptive immunity) become protective of it, while other branches of the immune system oppose its growth.
