Cancer Immunosurveillance

This Research Topic is intended to cover current knowledge regarding immune surveillance that impacts tumor development, prevention and treatment. Invited articles are intended to address humoral and cellular responses that may prevent or occur at various stages of tumor development, the range of structural changes that contribute to antigenicity and mechanisms of immune evasion and novel approaches to cancer detection and treatment that harness the immune response.

The problem to be addressed is how to harness the immune response to develop means to prevent, detect early or treat cancer. The research topics cover diagnostics, vaccines and novel immunotherapeutics for cancer. Advances to be covered include relevant technologies, tumor associated antigens and mutated neoantigen identification and novel means to induce a humoral and a cellular response .

We welcome manuscripts focusing on, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Humoral and cellular anti-tumor immune response
• Immune response as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis
• Vaccines for cancer prevention, interception, or treatment
• Tumor antigens for prevention versus therapy (shared neoantigens, mutated neoantigens)
• Novel strategies for immunotherapy and immunoprevention
