Editorial: Understanding convergent evasion mechanisms in cancer and chronic infection: implications for immunotherapy.

This document is an editorial published in Frontiers in Immunology titled "Understanding convergent evasion mechanisms in cancer and chronic infection: implications for immunotherapy." The editorial discusses the complex interactions between the innate and adaptive immune systems in recognizing and clearing pathogens or transformed cells, and how inefficient interactions can lead to chronic infections and the development of cancer. It compiles recent developments in understanding immune evasion mechanisms in cancers and chronic viral infections, and highlights therapeutic strategies to manipulate the tumor microenvironment for effective immunotherapy. The editorial also discusses advances in artificial intelligence models for personalized cancer immunotherapy and cutting-edge technologies to characterize immune responses at a tissue and single-cell level.
