Breaking Tolerance to Pancreatic Cancer Unresponsiveness to Immunotherapy Breaking Tolerance to Anti-Cancer Cell-Mediated Immunotherapy Series

Breaking Tolerance to Pancreatic Cancer Unresponsiveness to Immunotherapy discusses current and under investigation treatments in pancreatic cancer. The book presents information on how to combine current therapy with treatment under development and/or in clinical trials in order to improve survival. Chapters review new modalities to cure oncolytic viruses and Bi-specific T cell engager (BiTEs) as future clinical treatments, along with discussions on recent research using those modalities in combination therapy. The book is a valuable source for cancer researchers, oncologists and other members of the medical and biomedical field who are interested in learning more about new therapies.

Dr Kasuya Hideki has graduated from medical career on 1990 at Aichi Medical University, Japan. He did his residency in general surgery, transplantation surgery and liver-pancreas surgery in Nagoya University, Japan. He also has experience in research including research fellowship at the division of surgical oncology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School. Since then he is being involved in clinical as well as research work with focus on oncolytic virus, including its use, its generation and combination therapies with current approved therapies. In 2015, he started the laboratory of cancer immune therapy research center at Nagoya University as Chairman where he continues to do research on oncolytic virus and its use on pancreatic cancer.
Dr Itzel Bustos Villalobos has graduated from medical career on 2002 from La Salle University, Mexico.
