Summary

Cancer immunotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of cancer, leveraging the body's own immune system to identify and eradicate malignant cells. This revolutionary approach has shown remarkable success in various cancer types, offering new hope to patients worldwide.

 

This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in cancer immunotherapy, a rapidly evolving field that harnesses the body’s immune system to combat cancer. We invite researchers to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful case studies that explore innovative immunotherapeutic approaches, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR T-cell therapy, cancer vaccines, and novel biomarkers. Contributions that address mechanisms of resistance, combination therapies, and translational research bridging laboratory findings to clinical applications are particularly encouraged. Our goal is to compile a diverse collection of pioneering studies that will drive forward the understanding and effectiveness of immunotherapy in oncology. Join us in advancing the fight against cancer through the power of the immune system.

    Abstract Objectives: The Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) G12D oncogenic mutation poses a significant challenge in treating solid tumors due to the lack of specific and effective therapeutic interventions. This study aims to explore innovative approaches in T cell receptor (TCR) engineering and characterization to target the KRAS G12D7-16 mutation, providing potential strategies for overcoming this therapeutic challenge. Methods: In this innovative study, we engineered and characterized two T cell receptors (TCRs), KDA11-01 and KDA11-02 with high affinity for the KRAS G12D7-16 mutation. These TCRs were isolated from tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) derived from tumor tissues of patients More >

    Abstract The advent of RNA therapy, particularly through the development of mRNA cancer vaccines, has ushered in a new era in the field of oncology. This article provides a concise overview of the key principles, recent advancements, and potential implications of mRNA cancer vaccines as a groundbreaking modality in cancer treatment. mRNA cancer vaccines represent a revolutionary approach to combatting cancer by leveraging the body’s innate immune system. These vaccines are designed to deliver specific mRNA sequences encoding cancer-associated antigens, prompting the immune system to recognize and mount a targeted response against malignant cells.
