One of the most promising areas
of cancer treatment is referred to as immunotherapy.
In this process, a cancer patient's own immune
cells are isolated and grown in the laboratory
and then transfused back to the patient. With
the addition of these new cancer-fighting cells,
some patients experience a dramatic reduction
in the size and numbers of tumors present in the
body. What are the reasons for the success of
this strategy? At the end of this tutorial, you
will have a better understanding of cell-mediated
immunity and its role in the identification and
elimination of cancerous cells.
