Core Tip
Core Tip: To summarize and analyze the mechanisms of immune escape of tumor cells in the digestive system and provide help for immunotherapy. In this paper, the mechanisms can be analyzed from many aspects, including not only tumor cells themselves, but also immune cells and some other external factors. Through the summary of these mechanisms, we find some deficiencies in the research in this area, which may provide some ideas for the follow-up research.
