I will present results of Y. Lauzoun, C. Xue, G. B. Lesinski and
A. Friedman from 2014. They developed model of pancreatic cancer and shows that drugs aimed at suppressing cancer growth are effective only if the immune induced cancer cell death lies within a specific range. Moreover the model results suggest that tumor growth is affected by feedback loops between tumor cells, endothelial cells and the immune response. This could be helpful in choosing the optimal intervention agains cancer.
