To optimally stimulate an anti-tumor immune response in the old, it is necessary to identify and understand the intrinsic defects of the old immune system and use relevant models that closely reflect those of cancer patients, where self-tolerance and aging are present simultaneously. Then it will be possible to develop cancer immunotherapeutic strategies that are customized to be effective in the young and the old."
