Cancer is a systemic disease in more than one dimension, in terms of its evolutionary course, direct crosstalk with the microenvironment, and intricate communication with the macro-environment. This broad perspective encompasses our understanding of cancer’s systemic features, mapping out the path for tackling its complexity to bridge what we can learn and who we need to help.

Immunotherapy holds strong promise for cancer treatment but at present benefits only a small proportion of cases. A pan-cancer analysis of the immune landscape in more than 1,000 tumors across ten cancer types reveals immune surveillance and immune evasion mechanisms as well as potential molecular target that could augment future immunotherapy and precision medicine strategies.
