Focusing on the historical development of immune surveillance against tumors, this book examines the evolution of immunotherapy and the concept of immunoediting. It presents evidence supporting and challenging the immune surveillance theory, highlighting the immune system's critical role in detecting tumors. The text discusses tumor cell strategies to evade immune attacks, supported by findings from animal models and clinical cases. It also addresses the paradox of cancer development in individuals with normal immune function, illustrating the complexity of tumor immunity.
