Cytometry Part A Editor-in-Chief Attila Tarnok and the European Journal of Immunology Editor-in-Chief Francesco Annunziato edited the Joint Virtual Issue “Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy“. In their Editorial, Dr. Tarnok and Dr. Annunziato write: “Cancer is a catastrophic disease that in 2012 claimed 8.5 million lives worldwide. There were 14.1 million new cancer cases diagnosed the same year. Early diagnostics and intervention are a key to decreasing the number of cancer deaths and improving the quality of life for cancer patients.” Fighting cancer has been a top priority in biomedical research for the past several decades. This Joint Virtual Issue between the European Journal of Immunology, one of the journals of the European Federation of Immunological Societies, and Cytometry Part A, the official journal of the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry, presents several publications on the latest developments in cancer diagnostics and immunotherapy.
