Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the era of emerging cancer immunotherapy, new challenges have arisen due to treatment-induced resistance mechanisms on the tumor side and alterations of innate and adaptive patients’ immune systems. Each cancer-specific therapy as well as each immunotherapy results in dynamic tumor immune interaction. With a better understanding of these interactions, not only novel combination therapies but also smart sequencing strategies can be developed.
This Special Issue aims to publish research articles, reviews, and perspectives that concentrate on clinical/translational cancer immunotherapy, including in vitro and in vivo studies about novel immunotherapeutic approaches, therapy-induced immunomodulation and immunotherapy biomarkers.
