Résumé

In preclinical tumor model and in human cancer, tumor antigen specific T lymphocytes play a key role in the control of tumor development. Nevertheless in numerous cases, the infiltrating tumor T cells do not seem to influence the clinical progression of the tumor. A better phenotypic and functional characterization of T cells in close contact with tumor associated with a comprehensive analysis of tumor evasion mechanism to the host response should lead to an optimization of cancer immunotherapy protocols.
