New Rochelle, NY—Therapeutic cancer vaccines, which stimulate the body’s immune system to target and destroy cancer cells, are being used in combination with conventional chemotherapy with growing success, as described in several illuminating articles in Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. (www.liebertpub.com) The U.S. FDA recently approved the first cancer therapeutic vaccine for treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. At least 14 other cancer vaccine strategies are in Phase II or III clinical trials for metastatic melanoma, lung cancer, and lymphoma, for example. A critical perspective, “Recent Advances in Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines,” (http://online.liebertpub.com/ These emerging areas of cancer vaccine therapy are explored in detail in two accompanying research reports by Dr. Schlom’s colleagues at NCI/NIH. James Hodge, Hadley Sharp, and Sofia Gameiro describe how a tumor-targeted vaccine can enhance the effectiveness of radiation therapy on cancer growth and spread beyond the primary tumor in the article “Abscopal Regression of Antigen Disparate Tumors by Antigen Cascade After Systemic Tumor Vaccination in Combination with Local Tumor Radiation.” (http://online.liebertpub.com/ “This perspective and promising research reports are from one of the leading vaccine research laboratories in the world,” says Co-Editor-in- Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals, published 10 times a year in print and online, is under the editorial leadership of Editors Donald J.
