Dear JITC Readers,
Welcome to the latest JITC Digest. June is Cancer Immunotherapy MonthTM and an opportunity to help promote awareness of the cancer immunotherapy field. I encourage you to learn more about how SITC celebrates the month and consider taking part in the educational and professional development opportunities offered by the society, including numerous upcoming events.
One important aspect of immunotherapy as it becomes standard of care in an increasing number of disease states are the position papers and guidelines that provide guidance to enhance clinical decision making in the field. View the collection of these articles that includes SITC’s clinical practice guidelines and feature two brand new publications offering guidance for treating gynecologic and gastrointestinal cancers.
In addition to these important guidelines, JITC continues to publish top-notch research, some of which are found in my Editor’s Picks below. Highlights include how the antidiabetic drug metformin directly improved CD8 T-cell fitness in hypoxia, both in vitro and in vivo by Finisguerra et al, and how a radiomics model provided an innovative and accurate way to predict the response of immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with advanced breast cancer from Zhao et al.
Finally, regardless of the month, JITC is dedicated to providing authors with the best service possible. Our publisher, BMJ, has been rolling out changes to help improve the experience for authors. Learn about some of these tools in the special feature below.
Regards,
