Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modulation of the immune system has proven to be an effective way to reduce the progression of multiple tumors. Thus, the discovery of new immunotherapeutic agents is a rapidly growing field. At present, the arsenal of immunomodulators with potential clinical application includes multiple modalities of antibodies, small compounds and peptides targeting immune signaling pathways, vaccines and adoptive cell transfer.
This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the development of new immunotherapeutic agents for cancer treatment in the pre-clinical, translational and clinical settings. We invite authors to submit original research or review articles that analyze the mechanism of action, efficacy, safety and/or pharmacokinetics of immunotherapeutics in relevant models of neoplastic diseases.
