Hello, everybody. I'm excited to discuss with you about cancer immunology today. This is Dr. Fang from Des Moines University. I'm from the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology. I also hold an adjunct position in the Department of Surgery at the University of Missouri. This topic is about immune response to neoplasia.

First, as usual, I would like to give you the clear objectives to prepare your learning aims. So that's the objectives. We would like to say you need to describe tumor antigen types and the feasibility of using these antigens as targets for your future cancer immunotherapy. After this lecture, you should explain well about cell types and also humoral factors in anti-tumor immunity. Also, I would like you to understand the ways tumor cells evade detection and eradication by the host immune system. Also, I want you to list approaches using antibodies as a way against cancer. I would like you to explain further about the approaches to eliminate tumor cells by adoptive cellular immunity. The last part I would like you to know is how cytokine therapy may be used to treat tumors. These are the major objectives.
