Stimulation of the immune system's ability to control and destroy
tumors cont- ues to be the goal of cancer immune therapy; but the
scope has rapidly expanded; approaches are constantly updated; new
molecules are continually introduced; and immune mechanisms are
becoming better understood. This book has no intention of covering
every aspect of immune therapy but rather focuses on the novelty of
cancer immune therapy in an attempt to give readers an opportunity
to absorb the new aspects of immune therapy from a single source.
In this regard, three areas were selected: cytokine immune therapy,
cell-based immune therapy, and targeted immune therapy. In each of
these three sections, only the novel aspects of immune therapy were
described instead of attempting to cover any historical
achievement. In the first section, Cytokine Immune Therapy, the
IL12 family, IL18, IL21, IL24, IL28, and IL29 were emphasized in
regard to the an- tumor function and application in treating
tumors. Most of these selected cyt- ines were discovered in last 10
years. In the second section, Cell-based Immune Therapy, the focus
was engineering potent immune regulatory or effector cells such as
dendritic cells, T cells, and stem cells. Cell engineering design
is primarily based on the increased understanding of the
interaction of tumor antigen-presenting cells, antigen- specific
effector cells, and the tumor microenvironment.
