Scope & Guideline
Exploring the Frontiers of Cancer Immunology
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Tumor Microenvironment and Immune Interactions:
Research exploring how the tumor microenvironment influences immune responses and the effectiveness of immunotherapies. This includes studies on immune cell infiltration, cytokine profiles, and the metabolic pathways that modulate immune cell function. - Innovative Immunotherapy Approaches:
Focus on the development and evaluation of new immunotherapy strategies, such as CAR-T cell therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and oncolytic viruses. The journal emphasizes studies that demonstrate clinical efficacy and mechanistic insights. - Biomarkers and Predictive Models:
Identification and validation of biomarkers that predict patient responses to immunotherapy. This includes genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic analyses to develop personalized treatment approaches. - Mechanisms of Immune Evasion:
Investigating the various mechanisms by which tumors evade immune detection and destruction, including the roles of immune checkpoint molecules, tumor-associated macrophages, and regulatory T cells. - Clinical Trials and Translational Research:
Reports on clinical trials and translational studies that bridge the gap between laboratory findings and clinical application, aiming to improve patient outcomes through novel immunotherapeutic strategies.
Trending and Emerging
- Combination Immunotherapy Strategies:
There is a growing emphasis on combination therapies that integrate various modalities, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors with targeted therapies, to enhance antitumor efficacy and overcome resistance. - Personalized Immunotherapy:
Research focusing on personalized approaches to immunotherapy is on the rise, including the use of genomic profiling and biomarker-driven strategies to tailor treatments to individual patient needs. - Role of the Microbiome in Cancer Therapy:
Emerging studies are examining the influence of the microbiome on immune responses to cancer therapies, highlighting its potential role in modulating treatment outcomes. - Innovations in CAR-T Cell Therapy:
Advancements in CAR-T cell technology, including the development of novel constructs and strategies to enhance their efficacy against solid tumors, are becoming a key area of research. - Cellular Immunotherapy Beyond T Cells:
Research is expanding to include other immune cell types, such as NK cells and gamma-delta T cells, in immunotherapeutic strategies, recognizing their potential in cancer treatment.
Declining or Waning
- Basic Science Studies:
There is a noticeable decrease in purely basic science studies that do not have direct applications to immunotherapy or clinical outcomes. Research is increasingly focused on translational and clinical applications. - Single-Agent Immunotherapies:
Research on single-agent immunotherapies is waning as the field moves towards combination therapies that leverage multiple mechanisms of action to enhance efficacy and overcome resistance. - Conventional Chemotherapy Integration:
Investigations into the integration of traditional chemotherapy with immunotherapy have seen a decline, as newer approaches focusing on immune modulation and targeted therapies gain traction. - Animal Models with Limited Relevance:
Studies utilizing animal models that do not adequately mimic human immune responses or tumor biology are becoming less common, as the field prioritizes more clinically relevant models.
