In the past, investigation into the immunology of the Tasmanian devil and its immune response to the tumour has been hampered by a lack of genomic and immunological resources. However, these observations do not fully account for the ability of DFTD to avoid immune recognition, as a lack of MHC expression should still elicit a NK cell response. The tumour down-regulates cell surface Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), which allows the tumour to ‘hide’ from the host immune system. This tumour is able to transmit between unrelated hosts without eliciting an immune response, but how this tumour avoids the host immune system is not fully understood. This makes DFTD one of only three naturally occurring clonally transmissible tumours along with canine transmissible venereal tumour in dogs, and a recently identified transmissible cancer in clams.

An unusual feature of DFTD is that it is transmitted as an allograft when Tasmanian devils bite each other.

This had led to Tasmanian devils being listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Since its emergence around 1996, the disease has spread rapidly across the state resulting in a population decline of around 80 %. The devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) is currently threatening Tasmanian devils with extinction.
