Inflammation, Immunity, and Cancer
Description
Inflammation involves the interaction between various immune cells, inflammatory cells, chemokines, cytokines, and proinflammatory mediators. It also plays a decisive role in different stages of tumor development, including initiation, promotion, malignant conversion, invasion, and metastasis.
We invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that seek to address the role of inflammation and immune cells that infiltrate tumors and are involved in an extensive and dynamic cross talk with cancer cells.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Role of inflammation in cancer
- Immune system and inflammatory cancer
- Chemokines and cytokines in cancer
- Inflammation, immunity, and signaling
- Therapeutic targets for inflammatory cancer
- Immunology of inflammatory cancer
- Cell gene expression signatures in inflammatory cancer
- Models of inflammatory cancer
- Immunotherapy in cancer
- Signaling pathways in inflammatory cancer
- Cancer inflammation and regulatory T-cells
