From the people who created this page

This new page was created from the collaborative efforts of Immunology students at the University of New South Wales, Australia. As a new page, formatting and other errors probably exists - we will be striving to fix these ASAP. We encourage anyone knowledgable and interested in this area to contribute to this article.

Wrong reference

The reference number 3 is not correct: Ohtani, H.; Dunn, IF; Curry, WT (2007). "Focus on TILs: Prognostic significance of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in human glioma". Cancer Immunity 7: 4. PMC 2935751. PMID 17691714.

The correct one is: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2935759/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.204.169.200 (talk) 14:46, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Too technical

Some four years ago somebody has put a "Too technical" logo at the top of this page. Well, nobody has come along to check and/or abbreviate it. Check: yes, OK abbreviate it: no. There are not too many medically qualified editors among us, so we have to do as well as we can: look up the medical dictionary. I have made a — Preceding unsigned comment added by LouisBB (talkcontribs) 09:47, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Continuation) My apologies, I touched the wrong key! I continue: I have made a start: Stroma (stromal remodeling):

1. The framework, usually of connective tissue, of an organ, gland, or other structure, as distinguished from the parenchyma or specific substance of the part. 2. Aqueous phase of chloroplasts, chloroplast matrix. 3. Archaic term for mitochondrial matrix.

I presume that the first definition will be acceptable for this case

All we need now is to create a NOTES section for the explanations.

Editorial Help On The Way

Hello everyone, I am a researcher currently studying cancer immunology. I am in the process of editing and updating the article. My overall format for the article is as follows:

(CI) Cancer immunology

Lead Section: Paragraph 1) 1) CI is a branch of biology concerned with cancer and the immune system. 2) It is well known due to immunotherapy. 3) Historically, Cancer has a long history of association with chronic inflammation. Moreover, it has been historically associated with infiltrating immune cells.

Paragraph 2 1) Cancer cells do not exist in isolation, rather they exist in tumors. tumors are complex biological 'organs'. They have a heterogeneous composition of both host cells and cancer cells. 2) Cancer immunologists are 'ecological' in the sense that they adopt a more environmental approach to cancer. 3) the local environment surrounding the tumor is important. 4) Cancer promoting environments. Cancer suppressing environments. 5) interest in the tumor environment overlaps with the interests of cancer immunologists
