<p>Professor Fairley lectures on cancer immunology. He starts from the premise that there are antigens in the malignant cells causing cancer growth, then seeks to define what the antigens consist of and where they come from. Within this he differentiates between malignant disease and tumours caused by a virus. He shows the complex procedure by which tumour cells can immunise against further cancer cells of the same type. He applies this theory to various types of tumour cell and describes known research in this field in depth. 6 segments.</p>
