Cancer Vaccines as Immunotherapy of Cancer provides extensive and state-of-the-art information about the meaning, relevance and limitation of therapeutic cancer vaccines. It covers all the aspects involved in the vaccine research and development (identification of optimal target antigens, formulations, delivery strategies, adjuvants among others) as well as their use in combination with other immunomodulatory approaches. The book discusses topics such as identification of tumor associated and specific antigens, proteogenomic for identification of novel target tumor antigens, antigen-specific T cells, and Peptide and RNA based vaccines. Additionally, it covers oncolytic viruses for antigen delivery, cancer vaccine targeting viral antigens and combinatorial immunotherapy strategies. Written by leading experts worldwide, this is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists and members of biomedical field who wants to understand in depth the recent findings in the field of cancer vaccines. Describes the state-of-the-art of the research and development of therapeutic cancer vaccines Presents detailed diagrams to help the reader understand the functionality of each type of vaccine discussed Encompasses recent findings in the field through chapters written by leading experts worldwide INDICE: 1.
