Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer immunotherapy has now revolutionized the field of oncology by prolonging the survival of patients. Novel treatment combinations and newly identified druggable targets will only expand the role of immunotherapy in the treatment of cancer in the decades to come.
In this Special Issue, our focus is on anti-cancer immunotherapies and mechanisms of action of new immunotherapy combinations, especially those including cell therapy products.
There is an urgent need to find molecular and cellular predictive and prognostic biomarkers which can be integrated with clinical pathological and imaging data to improve the prediction of both cancer progression and the response to immunotherapy for the right patient at the right time.
This Special Issue will include (but is not limited to) original research and review articles on the following topics:
- Anti-cancer vaccine development and efficacy evaluation;
- Immunotherapies, adjuvants and immunomodulators;
- Cell therapy developments and mechanisms of action;
- Immunology mechanisms;
- Immune response to immunotherapies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Vaccines.
