Abstract:
Localized cancer therapies such as radiotherapy, phototherapy, and chemotherapy are precise cancer treatment strategies aimed at minimizing systemic side effects. However, cancer metastasis remains the primary cause of mortality among cancer patients in clinical settings, and localized cancer treatments have limited efficacy against metastatic cancer. Therefore, researchers are exploring strategies that combine localized therapy with immunotherapy to activate robust anti-tumor immune responses, thereby eradicating metastatic cancer. Biomaterials, as novel materials, exhibit great potential in biomedical applications and have achieved great progress in clinic translation. This review introduces biomaterials and their applications in research focused on enhancing localized cancer treatment activated anti-tumor immunity. Additionally, the current challenges and future directions of biomaterials are also discussed, providing insights and references for related research.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
