Tumor immunology describes the interaction between cancer cells and the immune system. While intrinsic and environmental factors can cause dysregulated cell growth leading to cancer, the immune system provides innate and adaptive responses to identify and eliminate tumor cells. However, cancer cells can evade the immune system through various mechanisms. Cancer immunotherapy seeks to boost the immune response against cancer through cytokines, monoclonal antibodies, and vaccines to help treat certain cancers.

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

3. Introduction
• Cell growth & cell death are normally balanced
so that a stable number of cells are maintained
in a given tissue. Occasionally, however, cells
arise that no longer respond to the usual checks
and balances for division and death. These are
tumor cells.
4. Cancer
• How does cancer arise?
Dysregulated cell growth & proliferation
=> Transformation
A clone of cells expanding indefinitely
=> A tumor
Tumor cells => the body and cause diseases
=> Cancer
6. Key Concepts in Tumor immunity
1. Tumors express Ags that are recognized as foreign
by the host immune system.
2. Immune responses frequently fail to prevent the
growth of tumors.
3. The immune system can be activated by external
stimuli to effectively kill tumor cells and eradicate
tumors.
7. Tumor Antigens
1. Tumor-Specific Transplantation Antigens
(TSTAs):
Antigen that are expressed on tumor cells but
not on normal cells were called tumor-specific.
8. Tumor Antigens
2. Tumor-Associated Transplantation Antigens
(TATAs):
Tumor antigens that are also expressed on
normal cells were called tumor-associated
antigens; in most cases, these antigens are
normal cellular constituents whose expression
is aberrant or dysregulated in tumors.
9. Immune Surveillance
A. Innate:
1. NK cells:
NK cells kill many types of tumor cells, especially
cells that have reduces class I MHC expression
and can escape killing CTLs.
10.
11. Immune Surveillance
A. Innate:
2. Cytokines:
Cytokines with antitumor activity are secreted by
macrophages.
- TNF: TNF-α and TNF-β can stimulate necrosis of
the tumor cell . TNF-α also inhibit angiogenesis,
the growth of new blood vessels by decreasing
blood flow to the tumor.
12. Immune Surveillance
- Interferons:
• Are another group of cytokines with anti tumor
activity.
• IFN-α , IFN-β and IFN-γ have all been shown to
increase MHC I expression on tumor cell surface.
• IFN-γ may also inhibit proliferation of tumor cells.
13. Immune Surveillance
B. Adaptive:
- antibodies: are known to be generated against
certain tumor-specific antigens present on the
surface of malignant cell.
- CTL: direct killing!
- DTH: activating macrophages, which attack and
kill tumor cell.
14. Immune Evasion
A. Antibody enhancement of tumor growth:
The antitumor antibodies may bind to the
antigens on the tumor cells, masking the
antigens and blocking the ability of CTL cells to
bind and kill the tumor cell. Antibody bound to
tumor antigen may inhibit binding of Fc
receptors on macrophages, dendritic cells, and
NK cells.
15. Immune Evasion
B. Antibody modulation of tumor antigen:
The antigens disappear for a time and then
reappear when the antibody is eliminated. Cells
that do not express the antigen are no longer
target of other adaptive immune responses.
C. Modulation of MHC I expression:
Class I MHC expression may be down-regulated
on tumor cells so that they cannot be recognized
by CTLs.
18. Summary
• Cancer cells have unregulated rates of cell
growth and invade healthy tissue.
• Genetic mutations, radiation, Viruses and
Bacteria are the causes of dysregulated cell
growth & proliferation.
• Innate immune responses against tumors
include NK cell killing of tumor and macrophage
production of antitumor cytokines.
• Adaptive immune response against tumors
include generation of antitumor Abs, CTL, and
DTH reactions.
19. Summary
• Immune evasion by tumor cells facilitate
survival of malignant cells.
• Cancer immunotherapy is designed to increase
the immune response against cancer cells,
Cytokines and monoclonal antibodies have
proven to have some limited effects in treating
certain cancers. Vaccination, either to prevent
development of a type of cancer or to inhibit
recurrence of a tumor within a patient,
continues to be explored.
