Evasive Maneuvers a Closer Look at How Cancer Dodges the Immune System

Monireh Soltani

This article delves into the intricate strategies employed by cancer cells to evade the immune system, exploring the molecular and cellular mechanisms that enable tumors to persist and spread. From antigen alteration to the manipulation of immune checkpoints and the creation of an immune-suppressive microenvironment, cancer’s evasive maneuvers pose significant challenges to our body’s natural defense mechanisms. The article discusses these tactics in detail, shedding light on the ongoing efforts to decode and counteract cancer’s ability to dodge immune detection. By understanding these evasion strategies, we pave the way for the development of targeted therapies and immunotherapies that aim to empower the immune system in its battle against this relentless adversary
