Interactions between a tumor and its host involve the immune system on various levels and may have diverse consequences. They include the protection of the host by immune surveillance, tumor-induced immune deviation, and a predisposition to cancer due to chronic inflammation. Furthermore, tumors may recruit cells of the immune system to facilitate their progression.
