Abstract

THE SPEAKERS in Session 4 stressed the role of host immunity in tumor development and regression. It was indicated that immune impairment might contribute to tumorigenesis, nonspecific modulators of the immune response can reduce or prevent tumor development by stimulating the immunologic function of the host, and regression of a carcinogen-induced lymphocytic lymphoma may occur due to immune destruction of the tumor cells.
