Neoplasms/immunology

Neoplasms, also known as tumours, are abnormal growths of tissue that arise from uncontrolled cell division. Immunology is the study of the body's immune system, which is responsible for recognizing and destroying foreign substances. The interaction between neoplasms and immunology is an important area of study as the body's immune response to neoplasms can help predict their prognosis and influence treatment. Neoplasms can be used to study how the body's immune system works, enabling the development of new treatments such as immune-based therapies, which use the body’s own immune system to fight cancer. Understanding the relationship between neoplasms and the immune system can aid in the development of therapies to treat and prevent cancer, as well as other diseases.
