TNM staging and T-cell receptor gamma expression in colon
... Even though tumor cells express antigens that are capable of activating a host immune response, colon cancers still develop. It has been suggested that an inadequate T-cell response may in part be responsible for this feature. Colon cancer cells can also produce factors that modulate T-cell function ...
