Th9 cells have also shown both pro- and anti-tumorigenic activity, depending on the type of cancer. [29] They have been shown to inhibit melanoma cell growth, [ 30 ] [ 31 ] increase anti-tumor lymphocytes, and drastically lower tumor mass and disease severity. [ 29 ]

Throughout history, infantrymen have sought to minimise their losses in both attack and defence through effective tactics. (For a wider view of battle and theater tactics see: Military strategy)
