Targeted Immunotherapy for Cancer
Topic Editor, William Williams, is the president and CEO of BriaCell, which is developing a targeted immunotherapy for breast cancer. This includes raising money to support research and clinical programs and applying for grants. All other Topic Editors declare no competing interests with regards to the Research Topic subject.
Combinational Immunotherapy of Cancer: Novel Targets, Mechanisms, and Strategies
Cancer immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, has revolutionized the paradigm in cancer treatment. However, the clinical outcome of immunotherapy varies considerably among patients and only a minority of patients achieve long-term clinical benefits. This is largely attributed to the fact that existing cancer immunotherapies, which concentrate on several classical targets (CTAL-4, PD-1/PD-L1, etc.) and limited types of immune cell populations (T cells), are insufficient to cope with the complexity of highly heterogeneous tumor microenvironment (TME). This calls for more efforts to not only expand our toolbox for manip...
Updates on Radiation-induced Lymphopenia
Radiation-induced lymphopenia (RIL) is a long-known and frequent toxicity of radiotherapy and is the direct consequence of cell death of lymphocytes crossing the radiation field during treatment. In recent years, interest and evidence have been growing for the negative influence of RIL on treatment outcomes and survival of patients with solid tumors. Especially since the rise of immunotherapy, which is largely reliant on vital lymphocytes. Insight into clinical and dosimetric risk factors can help identify patients with an increased risk of RIL and possible management. Methods to mitigate RIL aim to reduce unintentional exposure of the circulating blood pool and secondary lymphoid organs to radiotherapy, with the ultimate goal of improving survival.
Lung Cancer
This work, Lung Cancer, Volume 2: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Methods and Reviews, in the Methods in Molecular Medicine series presents an overview of the current status of those methods useful in the diagnosis and tre- ment of lung cancer—both as it exists in the clinic and as it is being revoluti- ized in the laboratory. The book is intended to serve as a resource for researchers wishing to increase their knowledge of current and cutting edge technologies, in order that their investigations into neoplasms of the lung may benefit from this enriched diversity of techniques and approaches. Owing to the complex nature of the disease and the variety of methods available to analyze and attack it, no volume attempting to define diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to lung cancer can ever be complete. The sheer number of investigators involved in lung cancer research guarantees that some aspect will be inadvertently excluded. However, I hope that the range of techniques included herein will serve to open up new avenues of investigation for both the novice and experienced researcher.

Lin Yi accidentally crossed over to the Douluo Continent and was bound by a system that was close to invincible. From then on, his life began to change. From the very first day of crossing over, Lin Yi felt like he had been exposed ...
Representing Atrocity in Taiwan
In 1945, Taiwan was placed under the administrative control of the Republic of China, and after two years, accusations of corruption and a failing economy sparked a local protest that was brutally quashed by the Kuomintang government. The February Twenty-Eighth (or 2/28) Incident led to four decades of martial law that became known as the White Terror. During this period, talk of 2/28 was forbidden and all dissent violently suppressed, but since the lifting of martial law in 1987, this long-buried history has been revisited through commemoration and narrative, cinema and remembrance. Drawing on a wealth of secondary theoretical material as well as her own original research, Sylvia Li-chun Li...
