Crucial immunological roles of the invasion front in innate and adaptive immunity in cervical cancer
The immunostimulatory actions of innate and adaptive immune responses play a crucial role in the cancer-immunity cycle. Although cervical cancer (CC) exhibits a high recurrence rate, the relation with lymphocytes in the tumor tissue have not been analyzed. We analyzed NKT, NK, and T cells, not only in peripheral blood (PB), but also tumor tissue through histological analysis from 23 patients with CC collected before treatment. A correlation of them between PB and the tumor tissue were assessed. We detected functional NKT and NKG2D LAG-3
