Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment landscape of several hematological and solid tumors by prolonging the survival of cancer patients. The number of patients eligible for immune-based cancer therapies continues to rise as these treatments are currently part of the first- or later-line standard for many malignancies. In addition, there is a huge number of ongoing trials aimed at evaluatinh the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors as monotherapy or in combination with other anticancer agents, and the number of indications and patients receiving immunotherapy is supposed to further increase in the near future.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue based on recent advances and future directions of cancer immunotherapy in several tumor types.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors;
- Immune-based combinations;
- Biomarkers predictive of response to immunotherapy;
- Immunomodulatory agents;
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors plus targeted therapies;
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors plus antiangiogenic agents;
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors plus chemotherapy;
- Dual checkpoint blockade;
- Immune-related adverse events;
- Tumor microenvironment.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
