Cancer Evolution Constrained by the Immune Microenvironment

Cell. 2017 Aug 24;170(5):825-827. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2017.08.012.

Abstract

Tumor development is a Darwinian evolutionary process, involving the interplay between cancer subclones and the local immune microenvironment. These complex interactions are highlighted in this issue of Cell by the results from Jiménez-Sánchez et al. of a deep analysis of one patient with advanced serous carcinoma of the ovary.
