Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Immunotherapy revolutioned the cancer treatment landscape with advancing developments in oncoimmunology. However, only a low percentage of patients clinically benefit from immune therapeutic agents. Therefore, there is an urgent need to understand the signaling pathways that regulate the cross-talk between tumor cells and immune cells and the relevant treatment-driven resistance mechanisms. Dissecting these dynamic interactions will allow us to discover new targetable molecules in order to develop therapeutic agents or combination therapies  to enhance the anti-tumor immune response. In addition, the identification of novel predictive and prognostic immune biomarkers of cancer progression and immunotherapy response will improve the patients’outcome.  

The Special Issue “Novel Progress in Cancer Immunotherapy” welcomes research articles and reviews including in vitro and in vivo studies on immune checkpoint inhibitors, anti-cancer vaccines, antibody-based therapies and adoptive cell therapies to widely explore the rapidly moving field of immunotherapy.

Dr. Sheila Spada
