Cancer immune control dynamics: a clinical data driven model of systemic immunity in patients with metastatic melanoma.

With CICD modeling capabilities, the complexity of the immune system is mathematically quantified through thousands of possible interactions between multiple biomarkers. Therefore, the overall state of an individual's immune system regardless of clinical status, is modeled as reflected in their blood samples. It is anticipated that CICD-based capabilities will provide tools to specifically address cancer and treatment modulated (immune checkpoint inhibitors) parameters of human immunity, revealing clinically relevant biological interactions.
