Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the field of cancer immunotherapy has undergone a transformative evolution, emerging as a beacon of hope in the fight against cancer. This Special Issue "Progress in Cancer Immunotherapies" within the journal Cells embarks on a focused exploration of this dynamic domain, seeking to encapsulate the relentless advancements that have propelled immunotherapy to the forefront of oncological research.

Immunotherapy has redefined the treatment paradigm by harnessing the inherent capabilities of the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. From immune checkpoint inhibitors to adoptive cell therapies, the repertoire of immunotherapeutic strategies continues to expand, presenting unprecedented opportunities to revolutionize cancer care. This Special Issue aims to delineate the contours of this rapidly evolving landscape, concentrating on key aspects such as the development of novel agents, breakthroughs in understanding the intricate interplay of immune cells within the tumour microenvironment, and strides in personalized immunotherapy approaches.

By delving into the nuances of these pivotal areas, this Special Issue endeavours to serve as a compass, guiding researchers, clinicians, and stakeholders through the intricate maze of cancer immunotherapies. As we navigate this exciting frontier, the collective insights presented within this compilation strive to accelerate the translation of groundbreaking discoveries into tangible clinical outcomes, fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and promises inherent in the pursuit of conquering cancer through the prism of immunological innovation.
