The Immune System and Pathogenesis of Melanoma and Non-melanoma Skin Cancer

Kory P Schrom et al. Adv Exp Med Biol. 2020.

Abstract

Tumor development is the result of genetic derangement and the inability to prevent unfettered proliferation. Genetic derangements leading to tumorigenesis are variable, but the immune system plays a critical role in tumor development, prevention, and production. In this chapter, we will discuss the importance of the immune system as it relates to the development of skin cancer-both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC).

Keywords: Immunopathogenesis; Immunosuppression; Immunotherapy; Melanoma; Non-melanoma skin cancer; TVEC.
