Resumen
Nos últimos anos, a pesquisa do câncer proporcionou avanços importantes quanto à complexidade de desenvolvimento do tumor, em particular, sobre os mecanismos moleculares que são a base da transformação progressiva de células normais em derivados altamente malignos. A análise molecular do desenvolvimento tumoral em pacientes não é trivial, pois necessita da disponibilidade de biópsias em diversos estágios de transformação. Além disso, os estudos dos processos de metástase, de angiogênese e da resposta imune contra os tumores in vitro não mimetizam o que ocorre in vivo. Por esta razão, os modelos murinos experimentais de câncer têm desempenhado papel vital na compreensão da tumorigênese e suas relações com o ambiente in vivo, em que existe a dificuldade de avaliação de novos métodos diagnósticos e as ações terapêuticas de drogas contra tumores em pacientes. Nesta revisão, são discutidas as abordagens experimentais, técnicas e estratégias utilizadas no estudo de tumores em modelos murinos com ênfase na resposta imune contra o câncer e, ainda, as limitações conceituais e clínicas de cada sistema na sua aplicação no estudo do câncer em humanos.Citas
