Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to participate in this Special Issue dedicated to the latest advancements and future prospects in cancer vaccines and immunotherapy. This Special Issue aims to enhance our understanding of the potential of cancer vaccines and immunotherapy, as well as their limitations, and provide insights for improving their effectiveness. We welcome original research articles and reviews covering a range of topics, including the latest advances in cancer vaccines and immunotherapy, their impact on the immune system and the response to cancer cells, and their combination with other cancer therapies. We also welcome studies based on the effectiveness of these treatments in cancer management, their potential for preventing cancer recurrence, as well as any potential side effects and risks associated with them. Additionally, we encourage submissions addressing the challenges and limitations of using cancer vaccines and immunotherapy in clinical practice and offering approaches to improve their efficacy and accessibility to cancer patients. We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
