Full Description
Cancer remains a complex disease characterized by a series of irreversible mutations of crucial genes. A host of factors collectively drive mutations and contribute to cancer initiation and development. Great strides have been made in both the scope and extent of cancer immunotherapy. Hailed as a robust cancer treatment modality that revitalizes patient's inner immune power to harness cancer, cancer immunotherapy is actively transforming cancer care and saving many lives from incurable and treatment-resistant cancers.
Understanding Cancer Immunotherapy: A Guide for Students, Patients, and Caregivers helps readers understand the ins and out of cancer immunotherapy. This book contains a chronology, an introduction, an extensive bibliography, and a dictionary section. Understanding Cancer Immunotherapy covers cancer-devouring viral therapy, tumor-infiltrating immune therapy, cytokine therapy, modified dendritic cell therapy, engineered T cell therapy, cancer preventive vaccines, and cancer therapeutic vaccines, companion topics on cancer basics, immunology fundamentals, and cancer risk reduction.
