Abstract

Unlike other tumors, lung cancer appears to be poorly sensitive to immunotherapy. We have recently demonstrated an alternative pathway of lung cancer immunosurveillance. Our data indicate a failure of the adaptive immune system to mediate the immunosurveillance of lung cancer and emphasize the prominent role of natural killer cells in this setting.
