TY - JOUR T1 - THe flip side of tumor immunity AU - Prehn RT, Prehn LM Y1 - 1989/01/01 N1 - 10.1001/archsurg.1989.01410010112022 JO - Archives of Surgery SP - 102 EP - 106 VL - 124 IS - 1 N2 - • A large amount of data suggest that tumors are, to some degree, dependent for their growth on a positive level of immune reaction, a level that is unique for each tumor. Each tumor gradually adjusts its immunogenicity to the level that will, in the immunologic context of its own particular host, maximize its growth. Thus, it follows that immunosuppression may be as likely as immunoaugmentation to have a therapeutic effect.(Arch Surg 1989;124:102-106) SN - 0004-0010 M3 - doi: 10.1001/archsurg.1989.01410010112022 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archsurg.1989.01410010112022 ER -
