Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has enabled unprecedented breakthroughs in the treatment of both early and advanced cancers. Although ICIs have rapidly become the standard of care for multiple tumor types, a significant proportion of patients do not respond and many develop serious immune-related toxicities. In triple-negative breast cancer, ICIs in combination with chemotherapy have become the standard of care for both early-stage and advanced disease, leading to substantial improvement in tumor responses and survival. Numerous preclinical and clinical studies are ongoing to identify ways to enhance the clinical efficacy of ICIs in breast cancer and minimize toxicities.
For this Special Issue of Current Oncology, we welcome original research and review articles that provide an overview of the latest advances and future challenges in the use of ICIs in the treatment of breast cancer.
Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Clinical trials of immunotherapy in breast cancer;
- Immunobiology of breast cancer;
- Translational models of immunotherapy for breast cancer;
- Strategies to overcome immunotherapy resistance;
- Biomarkers for patient selection;
- Managing immunotherapy toxicities;
- Real-world data on the clinical efficacy and toxicity of ICIs in breast cancer.
I look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Rossanna C. Pezo
