title: Double agents in the war on cancer: leukocytes govern ovarian cancer progression.
abstract: In conclusion, our work expands our understanding of tumor progression and provides further mechanistic rationale to develop novel interventions targeting immunosuppression. Future studies should unveil other unrecognized aspects of the contribution of the immune system to cancer prevention and progression.
