Abstract

Abstract: Cancer, like many others, is a disease due to dysfunction of cytokine-regulated networks. In this background, the 1st Aegean conference meeting focused on the Cytokine Signaling in Cancer was organized and held at Chania, Crete, Greece in May of 2015. A number of novel aspects of the cytokine signaling and their relevance to oncogenic processes were presented at that meeting. This special issue of Cytokine captures snap shots of this meeting in the form of reviews. In addition to these reviews, several other original research articles on the roles of cytokines and chemokines in various cancers are also present in this issue.
