This timely book, published just as cancer immunotherapy comes of
age, summarizes the rationale, present status, and future
perspective for cancer immunotherapy. Included are explanations of
the constitution of the immune system and immunocheckpoints, the
mechanism of antigen presentation and recognition, valuable
modalities, clinical trials and guidance, personalization, and
biomarkers, all of which are essential for understanding the
success of cancer immunotherapy. This innovative therapy has been
investigated worldwide as the fourth line of cancer treatment after
the standard treatments of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.
The progress in fundamental understanding of tumor immunology and
the recent advances in clinical trials have opened new avenues with
a cancer vaccine in 2010 and immunocheckpoint modulation in 2011,
with their approval already granted in the United States. Today,
there are no doubts, even among experts in cancer chemotherapy and
radiotherapy, that the immune system plays a vital role in tumor
eradication. Following American approval, many clinical trials of
cancer immunotherapy are being conducted. With this book the reader
will readily understand the paradigm shift in cancer treatment and
will realize the importance of cancer immunotherapy. The great
value of immunotherapy will be obvious, not only for tumor
shrinkage but for prolonging patient survival.
