Abstract

Immune escape mechanisms are prevalent in tumors, while their influence on the potency of antitumor immunotherapy has yet to be distinguished. We recently showed that increased numbers of intratumoral T cells rather than immune-escape-mechanisms significantly correlated with clinical outcome of advanced melanoma patients to subsequent autologous tumor cell vaccination. Our data emphasize the therapeutic relevance of tumor-infiltrating T cells for the clinical outcome
