Vaccines for Cancer Immunotherapy: An Evidence-Based Review on Current Status and Future Perspectives

Vaccines for Cancer Immunotherapy: A Comprehensive Evidence-Based Review on Current Status and Future Perspectives not only provides a reference on cancer treatment for clinicians, but also presents a well-organized resource for determining high-potential research areas. The book considers that this promising modality can be made more feasible as a treatment for cancer. Chapters cover cancer immunology, general approaches to cancer immunotherapy, vaccines, tumor antigens, the strategy of allogeneic and autologous cancer vaccines, personalized vaccines, whole tumor antigen vaccines, protein and peptide vaccines, dendritic cell vaccines, genetic vaccines, candidate cancers for vaccination, future perspectives on therapeutic cancer vaccines, and more.

Introduces the feasible immunotherapeutic vaccines for patients with different cancer typesPresents the status of past and current vaccines for cancer treatmentConsiders the advantages and disadvantages of therapeutic cancer vaccines in comparison to conventional treatmentsLooks at the combination of vaccines and other modalities, including immunotherapeutic and conventional methodsAnalyzes obstacles in the development of therapeutic cancer vaccinesGives a view on future perspectives towards the application of therapeutic cancer vaccines
