This unique book summarizes current knowledge on co-development of
infectious diseases and cancer. It provides an overview of the
complex and unique role of the immune system, inflammation,
tumor-mediated immunosuppression and infection-induced
immunomodulation in cancer and infection progression. Chapters are
organized into themed parts, beginning with a look at the
historical perspective of human tumor viruses, then aspects and
examples of infection-related cancers and cancer-associated
infections. The work discusses how cancer- and infection-associated
immune responses interact in a bi-directorial fashion and how these
interactions may evolve during both disease progression and in
response to therapy. The phenomenon of independent development of
cancer and infection in the same host, known as comorbid
cancer-infection progression, is explored. Understanding the
complex pathways involved in the progression of infection and
cancer will allow the prevention of the development of certain
types of cancer, as well as advancing prophylactic anti-cancer
vaccines. Readers of this work will discover innovative approaches
for multidisciplinary projects, focusing on the design of original
therapeutic modalities for cancer therapy. The book will therefore
be particularly valuable to scholars interested in cancer
immunology and researchers and clinicians in the field of basic and
applied immunobiology and microbiology.
