Abstract

Introduction:

In order to survive, cancers control immune systems and evade immune detection using mediators consisting of immune checkpoint molecules and cellular systems associated with immune suppression.

Methodology:

During the development of cancer and chronic infections, the immune checkpoints and cellular components including regulatory T cells, myeloid derived suppressor cells and cancer associated fibroblasts are often enhanced as a mechanism of immune subversion and have therefore become very important therapeutic targets.

Conclusion:

In this review, we will discuss the complexity of immune-suppressive mechanisms in the tumor milieu of cancers, including oral malignancy.

Keywords: Immune suppression, Tumor Microenvironment (TME), T-Regulatory cell (Treg), Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cell (MDSC), Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), Oral malignancy.
