Basic and translational cancer immunology articles cover new tumor antigens, innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune mechanisms, immune regulation, immune response characterization and quantification, cancer and inflammation, preclinical models, pre-clinical evaluations of individual cancer therapeutics and combinations (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors and stimulators, and other antigen-specific immunotherapies). These should generally be focused on new findings in the context of the immune system and on correlations with measures of tumor reduction or growth. Studies leading to mechanistic understanding or novel development of agents and combination therapies are encouraged. Studies with in vivo experiments in more than one animal tumor model are preferred.
