This new book provides a clinically relevant overview of cancer immunology and immunotherapy, exploring the cutting-edge research behind cancer’s driving mechanism of immune suppression and providing radical new ideas for improving therapy by employing these principles. It demonstrates the use and effectiveness of conventional chemotherapeutic drugs in eliminating tumors and provides an overview of immunoregulation via allogeneic stem cell transplantation. It also discusses the various resistance mechanisms in cancer immunology. It offers new hope for survival via immunoediting and details the development of antigen and phenotypic plasticity molecules for cancer immunotherapy. Overviews cancer immunology and immunotherapy. Explores latest research behind cancer’s driving mechanism of immune suppression, cutting-edge therapeutic approaches to combating cancer as well as novel approaches to cancer therapy with a special emphasis on the emerging new principles of immune suppression that drive the disease.
