Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) including anti-PDL-1/PD-1 (Pembroluzimab, nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab), and anti-CTL4 (Ipilimumab), has shown promising results in various types of refractory solid and hematological malignancies such as melanoma, lung cancers, leukemia, and lymphoma. To fully exploit the potential of ICIs and uncover why some patients are still refractory to these promising drugs, studies are implemented to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms related to ICI resistance or efficacy.
This Special Issue aims to address the latest findings related to the use of ICI-based immunotherapy in cancer, including treatment schedule, mechanisms of ICIs resistance, and predictive biomarkers.
Submissions of original articles, systematic reviews, short communications, and other types of articles on related topics are welcome. All manuscripts will follow the standard journal peer review practices, and those accepted for publication will appear in this Special Issue on “Immune-Checkpoints-Based Immunotherapy in Cancer: Predictive Biomarkers and Mechanisms of Resistance”. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Vaccines.
