Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy (Illustrated Edition) – eBook

Patients are starting to benefit from antibody-based, cellular, and vaccine approaches that are useful against genetically varied and therapy-resistance cancers. BCG immunotherapy is now being used as a first-line treatment for human bladder cancer and the introduction of prophylactic vaccination against HPV cancers and Hepatitis B is starting to show positive results. Following the latest FDA approval for vaccination against prostate cancer, and positive results
in clinical trials for a vaccine targeting cancer antigens in lung cancer, cancer immunotherapy is now considerably impacting patient clinical management.

Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy, Illustrated Edition, (PDF) provides an up-to-date and comprehensive account of cancer immunity and immunotherapy. It explains our adaptive and innate immunity to cancer, current approaches to cancer immunotherapy, the mechanisms underpinning our immune response, and how tumor and host responses can avoid effective anti-cancer immunity.

The ebook examines recent results, publications, and current areas of interest including ‘immune editing’ and particular issues that are affecting the research and development of vaccines, offering insight into how these problems may be overcome, as seen by world leaders in the field. Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy will appeal to clinicians working in cancer and oncology immunotherapy, and research scientists including masters and Ph.D. students, post-doctoral researchers and
senior investigators.
