Main text
Cancers are conventionally classified as “hot” tumors that are associated with high tumor mutation burdens (TMBs) and tumor-infiltrating immune cells or “cold” tumors associated with a dearth of neoantigens and immune cell exclusion.1 This dichotomy is frequently used to define the degree of pre-existing immune cell reactivity within the tumor microenvironment and has been linked to clinical outcomes including the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment.1 Recently,

期刊介绍:
Cancer Cell is a journal that focuses on promoting major advances in cancer research and oncology. The primary criteria for considering manuscripts are as follows:
Major advances: Manuscripts should provide significant advancements in answering important questions related to naturally occurring cancers.
Translational research: The journal welcomes translational research, which involves the application of basic scientific findings to human health and clinical practice.
Clinical investigations: Cancer Cell is interested in publishing clinical investigations that contribute to establishing new paradigms in the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of cancers.
Insights into cancer biology: The journal values clinical investigations that provide important insights into cancer biology beyond what has been revealed by preclinical studies.
Mechanism-based proof-of-principle studies: Cancer Cell encourages the publication of mechanism-based proof-of-principle clinical studies, which demonstrate the feasibility of a specific therapeutic approach or diagnostic test.
