Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccine targets are selected based on several factors, including the tumor microenvironment, which plays an important role in the clinical outcome. Immunotherapies that engage both the adaptive and innate immune systems have the potential to enhance cancer therapeutics. This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in therapeutic cancer vaccines and their outcomes. Specifically, we will look at how the antigen repertoire for vaccine targets can be improved and expanded, consider new developments in vaccine platforms, and explore in situ vaccines. The Special Issue will explore the identification of biomarkers for cancer prognosis and evaluate the mechanism of action and adverse effects associated with antigen targeting. Other potential topics include:
- Combining vaccine platforms with novel immunomodulatory approaches;
- Treatments for overcoming tumor resistance and enhancing clinical efficacy;
- Adoptive transfer therapy and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy;
- Vaccine-related therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors;
- Future perspectives on cancer vaccines.
