This journal focuses on the intersection of cancer immunology and immunotherapy. It publishes research on the tumor microenvironment, immune cell function, and the development and efficacy of immunotherapeutic strategies across various cancer types. Specific areas of investigation include immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapies, oncolytic viruses, and the role of the gut microbiota and extracellular vesicles in cancer immunity.
