This book provides patients and their physicians (especially
"non-oncologist" health care providers) with a clear and concise
introduction to cancer immunotherapy, which, unlike traditional
forms of cancer therapy, acts by boosting the patient's own immune
system to fight cancer. The unique features of cancer immunotherapy
make its management, monitoring and side-effects different from
those of traditional cancer therapy. Especially novel are the side
effects of cancer immunotherapy, necessitating greater awareness
for both patients and physicians in order to minimize complications
of therapy. The patient-friendly, concise, easy-to-understand, and
up-to-date knowledge presented in this book will inform patients
about the benefits and risks of cancer immunotherapy, and help them
and their care providers to understand how immunotherapy would
control their unique disease. Researchers and academic
professionals in the field of cancer immunotherapy will also find
clear and useful information to help them communicate with patients
or address unresolved problems. Some key features of the book are:
Expertise. All editors and authors are scientists and oncologists
specializing in cancer immunotherapy, and are involved in
scientific discovery from the early stage of immune-checkpoint
inhibitors to today's daily patient care. Their insights, expertise
and experience guarantee the high quality and authority in the
science, medicine and practice of cancer immunotherapy.
Patient-friendly. This book is written for cancer patients in order
to meet their needs when considering immunotherapy. As an
educational tool, this book will help the reader balance the risks
and benefits based on both science and clinical facts, and
therefore to make the best choice in receiving or withdrawing from
immunotherapy. Disease Specificity. Cancer is a complicated disease
involving multiple stages and pathology. Its response to
immunotherapy is individualized and varies depending on cancer
types. The authors' expertise in treating different types of
cancers, including melanoma, lung, kidney, bladder, and lymphoma,
provides disease-specific insights in applying immunotherapy to
each disease.
