Abstract
In cancer, multiple factors converge upon receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK) and its ligand (RANKL) signaling to promote the development of bone metastases; agents that inhibit RANKL signaling reduce skeletal-related events (SRE) in patients with cancer. In addition, RANKL signaling is important in augmenting the ability of dendritic cells (DC) to stimulate both naïve T-cell proliferation and the survival of RANK+ T cells. In this issue, Chang and colleagues using high-dimensional cytometry to evaluate immunomodulatory effects of denosumab in patients with advanced solid, observe early on treatment changes in multiple compartments, and greater effects in patients receiving concurrent chemotherapy or steroids. See related article by Chang et al., p. 453 (4).
期刊介绍:
Cancer Immunology Research publishes exceptional original articles showcasing significant breakthroughs across the spectrum of cancer immunology. From fundamental inquiries into host-tumor interactions to developmental therapeutics, early translational studies, and comprehensive analyses of late-stage clinical trials, the journal provides a comprehensive view of the discipline. In addition to original research, the journal features reviews and opinion pieces of broad significance, fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration within the cancer research community. Serving as a premier resource for immunology knowledge in cancer research, the journal drives deeper insights into the host-tumor relationship, potent cancer treatments, and enhanced clinical outcomes.
Key areas of interest include endogenous antitumor immunity, tumor-promoting inflammation, cancer antigens, vaccines, antibodies, cellular therapy, cytokines, immune regulation, immune suppression, immunomodulatory effects of cancer treatment, emerging technologies, and insightful clinical investigations with immunological implications.
