ABSTRACT
Immunologists down the years have asked which cells control the anticancer T cell immune response. The answer is quite perplexing. The response to cancer is probably the most complicated function of the immune system. An army of immune cells and the tumor cell itself are involved. Immunologists have not completely determined the role of these cells in eradicating the tumor. There is a “pecking order” of immune cells involved, but which one or ones can scientists rely on to do what we all want? Namely, cure us of the cancer and never let it return.
