Immune Therapy for Pancreatic and Colon Cancer

Expands the knowledge on pathways, immune modulators, immune check points, and monoclonal antibodies that can lead to appropriate cancer treatment. With a strong focus on the development of immune therapies to improve the survival rates of pancreatic and colon cancer, this book also shows the latest trends in immune targeted approaches for cancer treatment.

Sections describe the role of and the immune response to pancreatic and colon cancer, gives insights to past and current immunotherapies, including metabolic reprogramming, immune blockade therapy and immune modulation.

This book is a valuable resource for health professionals, scientists and researchers, students, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge of the advances in immunotherapy in pancreatic and colon cancer, inspire them and guide their design of novel experimental projects and translational studies.

Aims to incorporate diverse and novel immunotherapeutic strategies, targeting a wide array of tumor-induced immune escape mechanisms

Elucidates both past and current differences in immunotherapies, while also including strategies based on monoclonal antibodies' vaccine, and oncolytic virus-related immunotherapies

Provides an updated understanding of the how resistance breaks with immunotherapy in both pancreatic and colon cancer
