title: THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND MALIGNANT NEOPLASMS: FUNDAMENTAL AND TRANSLATIONAL ASPECTS
abstract: The immune system is responsible for control of the antigenic continuity, ensuring the friend-orfoe identification and the formation of appropriate responses by the organism, aimed either at destruction (in case of infection with infectious pathogens and transplantation of an alien graft), or protection of the "foe" to be incorporated by the host organism (under physiological pregnancy, or in case of pathology under malignant growth).
