Immunotherapy has demonstrated impressive outcomes for some patients with cancer.
However, selecting patients who are most likely to respond to immunotherapy remains a
clinical challenge. Here, we discuss immune escape mechanisms exploited by cancer and
present strategies for applying this knowledge to improving the efficacy of cancer
immunotherapy. Clin Cancer Res; 21 (4); 687–92.© 2014 AACR.
