Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to call for your attention of this Special Issue of International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS). In this Special Issue, we plan to publish a collection of articles focusing on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of immunotherapy for soft tissue and bone sarcoma, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapy, chimeric antigen T-cell receptor (CAR-T), cancer vaccines, and others. Unlike the substantial advances made on the immunotherapy of many common malignancies such as lung cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma over the past decade, sarcoma has seen only limited progress. What are the molecular mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapy? What major issues that remain to be understood for moving the field forward? What are the promising leads in the research pipeline that are likely to bring substantial advances? What are some of the future directions for tackling sarcoma? We very much appreciate your contribution to this field of sarcoma research by contributing your articles to this Special Issue.
