Beatty, MD, PhD, brings his insight to a comprehensive overview of cancer immunotherapy, beginning with the fundamental laws of the immune system and incorporating the challenges for immunotherapy, efforts to restore T cell immune-surveillance, checkpoint immunotherapy in melanoma and other cancers, biomarkers of cancer immunogenicity, CAR T cells in cancer and the future for cancer immunotherapy.
