Abstract

The Inmune System plays an essential role in the defense of the organism against microorganisms and alters cells. Historically, the concept of immune surveillance its based in the control of multiple functions including the regulation of cancer cells through diverse mechanisms such as cells, molecules and tissue from the immune system. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanisms of antigen presentation and other mechanisms of the innate and adaptive system which participate in the defense of the organism against the tumor. This process is enhancing by an inflammatory acute process that could lead to the control or de destruction of the tumor. The purpose of this review is to develop the cardinal aspects of the immunologic process that take part in the defense against malignant diseases, and also to explain its mechanisms.
