About this Research Topic
Some critical aspect related to immune-based prevention of cancer include:
• Identification of biomarkers for early detection of premalignant lesions
• Leverage the common viral etiology in cancer (HPV, EBV, polyomavirus).
• Characterization of the mutation burden in premalignant lesions
• Prophylactic/Therapeutic vaccines to target premalignant lesions
• Animal models for premalignant lesions
• Genetic and epigenetic alterations during early progression (colorectal cancer, Linch syndrome, microsatellite instability)
• Development of novel topical therapies for treatments of early lesions
In this Research Topic, we welcome Original Research articles, Reviews, Mini Reviews, Case Reports, Clinical Trials, Methods, and Perspectives that address the screening and interventions toward premalignant epithelial neoplasms.
We acknowledge the initiation and support of this Research Topic by the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS). We hereby state publicly that the IUIS has had no editorial input in articles included in this Research Topic, thus ensuring that all aspects of this Research Topic are evaluated objectively, unbiased by any specific policy or opinion of the IUIS.
