The “Cancer Immunology and Genetics: An Interdisciplinary Approach” is the twenty third volume of the “Interdisciplinary Cancer Research” series, publishes comprehensive volume on cancer immunology and genetics. The volume starts with a chapter on thymic stromal lymphopoietin and cancers, followed by other chapters on immunogenic cancer cell death and epigenetics. Tumor microenvironments, innate lymphoid cells, and tumor-associated macrophages are explained in subsequent chapters. Other chapters focus on telomere maintenance in cancer cells, single nucleotide polymorphisms, Human leukocyte antigen, long non-coding RNA, and microRNA as oncogenic features as well as diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Finally, genome editing, targeting epigenetic readers, and pharmacogenomics of cancer chemotherapy are discussed in the last chapters. This is the main concept of Cancer Immunology Project (CIP), which is a part of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). This interdisciplinary book will be of special value for those who wish to have an update on cancer immunology and genetics.
