Delivery Technologies for Immuno-Oncology: Volume 1

Delivery Technologies for Immuno-Oncology: Volume 1: Delivery Strategies and Engineering Technologies in Cancer Immunotherapy, authored by Mansoor M. Amiji, delves into the challenges of delivering immuno-oncology therapies. This comprehensive treaty engages the scientific and medical community involved in immunology, cancer biology, and therapeutics, offering solutions from nanotechnology and drug delivery perspectives.

Immuno-Oncology: An Overview

Immuno-oncology (IO) is a rapidly evolving field of medicine that combines immunology and cancer biology to develop novel therapeutic approaches. These include clinically approved treatments such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) and immune checkpoint blockade antibodies, which have shown significant promise in select types of cancers.

Challenges and Opportunities in IO Delivery

While IO approaches have been successful in certain cancers, their broad application could further improve clinical success, particularly for diseases like pancreatic cancer and brain tumors where IO success has been limited. Nanotechnology-based targeted delivery strategies could enhance the delivery efficiency of IO agents and provide additional avenues for novel therapeutic and vaccination strategies.

Nanotechnology and Drug Delivery in IO

Nanotechnology and drug delivery play crucial roles in improving the efficacy of IO therapies. Locally administered immunogenic scaffolds and therapeutic strategies, such as the use of STING agonist, could benefit from rationally designed biomaterials and delivery approaches. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of these challenges and opportunities, forecasting the future of nanotechnology and drug delivery in IO.

Key Features of the Book

Delivery Technologies for Immuno-Oncology: Volume 1 offers a comprehensive treaty that covers all aspects of IO. It presents novel strategies for the delivery of IO therapeutics and vaccines, providing insights into the future of nanotechnology and drug delivery for IO.
