The Nature Portfolio editors who handle cancer primary research, methods, protocols and reviews bring you the latest articles, covering all aspects from disease mechanisms to therapeutic approaches. Collected here you will also find specially curated content, such as collections, focus issues and animations, all ready to be used in presentations and educational materials. You can also find out about the editors handling cancer content, and the journals at Nature Portfolio that publish articles on this topic and how to submit to them.
Decoding cancer immunology: Hunting hidden tumours
The immune system is constantly on the lookout for threats, but cancer isn’t always easy to spot. Some cancer cells can fly under the radar. Now, advanced sequencing technologies are enabling scientists to investigate the unique genetics of both cancers and immune responses in individual patients. This means researchers can develop treatments that boost the immune system and help the body win its battle against cancer. This video from Nature Reviews Genetics and Nature Reviews Cancer is freely available online thanks to support from Illumina, Inc.

Tumour immunology and immunotherapy
This animation created by Nature Reviews Cancer and Nature Reviews Immunology illustrates how tumour cells are sensed and destroyed by cells of the immune system and how tumours can evolve to evade immune-mediated elimination. Scientists are developing new immunotherapies that help the immune system to ‘fight back’ — the animation explains how these exciting new drugs work.
