The battle between the two forces at the heart of it is, in immunodynamic terms, a campaign between positive immune power (IFNγ)(pSTAT1) and negative immune power (TGFβ)(pSTAT3), or in tumor ecodynamic terms, it is a contest between negative tumor ecological power (IFNγ)(pSTAT1) and positive tumor ecological power (TGFβ)(pSTAT3). The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is neoplasm.
