Over the last decade immuno-oncology has witnessed an astonishing pace of discovery and
innovation translating into unprecedented successes in the clinical setting arguably
representing one of the most profound and transforming revolution in the history of cancer
therapy. This book provides a concise and accurate outline of the main developments in major
tumor types including melanoma lung breast brain and renal cell cancers. In addition
transversal chapters that describe the commonalities of some of the therapeutic strategies are
provided to cover topics like immune checkpoint biology T cell engineering or rational
combination therapies. Each chapter has been authored by senior key opinion leaders in their
respective fields to provide the most up-to-date view on cancer immuno-oncology. To reflect on
the key translational aspect of immuno-oncology all chapters are making explicit connections
between basic science discoveries and the resulting translational therapeutic strategies.
Immuno-Oncology will be an invaluable source of information for scientists interested in the
translation of basic immunology into the clinical practice as well as for clinician interested
in deepening their knowledge of current and upcoming immune strategies in the fight against
cancers.
