Cancer Vaccination and Challenges Volume 1: Strategies for Therapeutic Cancer Vaccine Development
Extensive attempts for developing cancer vaccines over the last 50 years have been made, but with minimal success. The current research in genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and immunology has revived interest in these immunotherapies and enabled the development of potential cancer vaccine candidates. This book, Cancer Vaccination and Challenges, in two volumes, deals with the very relevant issue of cancer vaccines and the various challenges their development and delivery present.
Volume 1: Different Strategies for Therapeutic Cancer Vaccine Development deals with different strategies of cancer vaccine development. The primary focus of this volume is the techniques for the development of therapeutic cancer vaccines. It helps clarify the current need for vaccines in cancer treatment, exploring deeper information such as the roles of tumor antigens, proteins/peptides, microbial genes, and stem cells for the development of vaccines for cancer management. The volume also provides latest insights on DNA- and RNA-based cancer vaccines, eventually covering the regulatory perspectives for the cancer vaccine developments.
Volume 2: Delivery Strategies for Cancer Vaccine and Immunotherapy in Management of Various Carcinomas presents an understanding of delivery strategies of cancer vaccines for the management of various forms of carcinoma. It discusses the management of various carcinomas using vaccines, examining the prospects of delivering immuno-oncology therapies, focusing specifically on the affective drug delivery strategies for treatment of lung, prostate, and pancreatic carcinomas. The volume provides an overview of the current vaccine systems, adjuvants, and delivery methods that are being explored or have been approved. It also focuses on therapeutic cancer vaccines that could be used to prevent the spread of advanced malignancies that are resistant to standard treatments, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
This two-volume book will be a valuable resource for researchers with a pharmaceutical background and professionals working in the field of biomedical science, engineering, vaccine development, and cancer therapy.
