Cover Story: This volume presents a collection of contributions at the 3rd International Electronic Conference on Cancers: New Targets for Cancer Therapies (IECC 2023) held on 16–30 March 2023. In recent years, cancer genomics has expanded our view of cancer vulnerabilities, new technologies have changed the paradigm of what can be successfully targeted, and new immunotherapy targets are emerging rapidly. This conference aims to promote and advance coordinated progress in oncology research to foster the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. The conference discusses topics including translational cancer genomics and epigenomics, emerging immunotherapy targets, and overcoming therapeutic hurdles in resistance and undruggable proteins. It is hoped that this conference can facilitate discussions and exchange within the community.
