Immune Cells and Cytokines in Cancer

“Immune Cells and Cytokines in Cancer: A Therapeutic Perspective” highlights the recent trends in the field of cancer immunology by focusing on the functions of immune cells and cytokines in the initiation and metastasis of different solid and hematological malignancies. This title illustrates the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with the immune cell-cytokines-tumor cells crosstalk axis and deciphers implications of immune cells, their receptors, and cytokines as therapeutic regimens for the treatment of cancer patients. Comprised of three sections, the book first illustrates the different immune cells involved in tumorigenesis, tumor-infiltrated immune cells, and their roles in modulating tumor contexture and growth. The second section deciphers the importance and functions of cytokines and how they modulate the tumor microenvironment by regulating immune cells associated with cancer. The final section reviews how targeting immune cells and cytokines is beneficial and discusses implications in cancer treatment. Researchers and clinicians interested in the fields of immunology, cancer biology, and oncology will benefit from this important and thorough resource.
