Abstract:
Cancer immunotherapy, which suppresses cancer progression by activating the anti-cancer immunity of patients, shows utility in treating multiple types of cancers. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) induced by most clinical treatment modalities plays a critical role in promoting cancer immunotherapy by releasing tumor-associated antigens and neoantigens and exposing "danger signals" to stimulate immune cells. This comment article presents the different roles of nanoparticles in various treatment modalities of cancers, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic and photothermal therapies, and therapy with radiated tumor cell-released nanoparticles, which often activate anti-cancer immunological effects by inducing ICD of cancer cells, and highlights the challenges and opportunities of ICD-related cancer immunotherapy in the clinic.

Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

Overview of Cell Death
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...
