The study of cancer immunology has recently been reinvigorated by the application of new research tools and technologies, as well as by refined bioinformatics methods for interpretation of complex datasets. Recent microarray analyses of lymphomas suggest that the prognosis of cancer patients is related to an interplay between cancer cells and their microenvironment, including the immune response.
