Viruses, Cancer and Immunity

Viruses, Immunity, and Immunodeficiency

  • 61 Accesses

Abstract

The main theme of this book is on the interactions of viruses with the immune system. As a tumor immunologist, I would like to address this chapter to the many analogies between interactions of the immune system with viruses on the one hand and cancer on the other. As a framework for specific discussion of such interactions, two main questions might be identified: (i) What effects do cancer and viruses have on the immune system? and (ii) What effects does the immune system have on cancer and on virus infections? There is abundant information about the reciprocal nature of these interactions. The presence of tumors or viruses in the host can have profound effects on the immune system and, conversely, the immune system can play a key role in defense against cancer and virus infections.
