Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer immunotherapy requires the development of effective therapeutic strategies capable of eliciting an effective immune response to eradicate or control cancer. Traditional immunotherapeutic methods, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and cancer vaccines, offer hope for enhancing the clinical response. However, even in combination with other standard therapies, including chemotherapy, there are significant challenges to its effectiveness, including immune cell exhaustion and cancer resistance, which eventually lead to relapse and death.
A better understanding of the biology of the immune tumour microenvironment (TME), the enrichment and expansion of specific immune cells, such as tumour reactive T-cells, and the gene modification of immune cells are recent novel approaches to improving cancer immunotherapy. This Special Issue focuses on promising cancer immunotherapy strategies targeting the TME and beyond, including mRNA vaccines, adoptive cell therapies, such as TILs, CAR-T cell therapy, TCR therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, bispecific antibodies, immunomodulation strategies, and any new innovative methods that can stimulate specific tumor immune responses.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
