Four different kinds of data from the 3-methylcholanthrene-induced sarcoma system of the mouse show that the immune system stimulates oncogenesis; i.e., the presence of a tumor-specific immune reaction is a positive aid to tumor development. It seems proper, therefore, to consider cancer, at least in part, an autoimmune disease.
来自小鼠3-甲基胆蒽诱导肉瘤系统的四种不同类型的数据表明,免疫系统会刺激肿瘤发生;也就是说,肿瘤特异性免疫反应的存在对肿瘤发展有积极促进作用。因此,似乎有理由认为癌症至少在一定程度上是一种自身免疫性疾病。
