Cancer-specific immune evasion and substantial heterogeneity within cancer types provide evidence for personalized immunotherapy

Abstract The immune response against cancer is orchestrated by various parameters and site-dependent specificities have been poorly investigated. In our analyses of ten different cancer types, we describe elevated infiltration by regulatory T cells as the most common feature, while other lymphocyte...
