Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer immunotherapy has become a powerful new approach to cancer therapy. Immunotherapy drugs have already been approved by the FDA for the treatment of multiple types of cancers, thus enhancing research interest in the field of cancer immunotherapy. Progress in cancer immunotherapy has largely been facilitated by relevant technological progress. New technologies such as next-generation sequencing have enhanced our ability to search for new targets in immuno-oncology. On the other hand, drug delivery systems such as nanoparticles and the use of T cells for drug delivery have enabled an increase in potency and the reduction of adverse events associated with cancer immunotherapy. This Special Issue is devoted to advanced technologies that lead to the implementation of cancer immunotherapy.
