点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Anal cancer has been on the rise without improvements in patient treatment or survival over the last three decades. Immunotherapy which uses a patient's immune system to combat cancer has demonstrated great success in the treatment of several tumours, and consequently demands investigation for patients with anal cancer. This project is focussed on examining the immune system's role in anal cancer, and whether immunotherapies can be used to improved treatment response and patient survival.
