Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The goal of this Special Issue is to publish innovative research related to immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy for cancer treatment. The inclusion of additional treatment modalities, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hyperthermia, etc., is also of interest. The Special Issue is open to both clinical and preclinical studies, and to different disease sites and cancer types. The clinical studies should also encompass a preclinical component in order to be considered. The clinical component of interest is the impact of therapeutics on meaningful endpoints such as progression-free and overall survival. In the preclinical setting, improving the synergy of combination therapeutics through the optimization of sequencing, dosing, timing, and fractionation is of particular interest. Both mechanistic and phenomenological studies will be considered. Submissions may be related either to tumor control/response or to normal tissue side effects resulting from treatment. Predictive modeling intended to support clinical decision-making and pertinent to disease response or normal tissue complications is an additional area of interest.
