Summary

The studies that first identified the presence of tumor-specific CD4(+) T cells in cancer patients are reviewed, the techniques used to identify the tumor antigens recognized, the role of the different CD4 (+) T cell subsets in tumor immunity and in cancer prognosis and the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at activating efficient antitumorCD4(-) T cell effectors are reviewed.
