Through extensive research and discussion among both the base and the leadership of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) in the last several years, it became clear to SITC that there was a need for a targeted and broadly-accessible publication platform dedicated to advancing the science of tumor immunology and cancer immunotherapy. To fulfill this need and enrich communication between the many stakeholders in the tumor immunology and cancer immunotherapy community, SITC has created the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (JITC).Authors: Pedro J.
