Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer vaccines have emerged as a transformative approach in oncology, leveraging the immune system to target and eliminate malignant cells. Based on the deep understanding of tumor immunity and great improvements in biotechnology and artificial intellengence (AI), cancer vaccines have become increasingly prominent in cancer immunotherapies.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, Advances in ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, of the Vaccines journal, aimed at reporting new advances in cancer vaccines and cancer immunotherapy, such as new cancer vaccines, new technology for cancer vaccine development, and the immunomechanism of cancer vaccines.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- immunomechanism of cancer vaccines;
- mRNA-based cancer vaccines;
- tumor neoantigens;
- peptide-based vaccines;
- adjuvant;
- antigen finding and AI-driven antigen prediction;
- combination therapies;
- vaccine delivery.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
