Escape from immune surveillance is a hallmark of cancer. Immune deregulation caused by intrinsic and extrinsic cellular factors, such as altered T cell functions, leads to immune exhaustion, loss of immune surveillance, and clonal proliferation of tumoral cells. The T cell immune system contributes to the pathogenesis, maintenance, and progression of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
