Cancer Immunotherapy and Immunonutrition

Abstract

Recently, immunotherapy has become a clinically validated treatment for cancer patients. Immunotherapeutic strategies include cytokines, cancer vaccines, adoptive cellular therapy, immune checkpoint blockade, Immunostimulatory antibodies and treatment methods used to restore or enhance the cancer cell antigen numbers. Studies also show that immuno nutrition, newly developed formulas containing arginine and/or glutamine, omega-3 fatty acids, and ribonucleic acids could modulate inflammatory and immune response in cancer patients. These reviews outline some of the main strategies in cancer immunotherapy and the role of immuno nutrition. The authors believe that the combination therapies with the support of immuno nutrition may provide new hopes to end cancer.
