Cover Story: Cancer immunotherapy is a powerful strategy in the clinic to treat many cancers. The commonly applied immunotherapy strategies include blockade of immune checkpoints, adoptive transfer of engineered cells such as T cells, cytokine therapy, cancer vaccines, and oncolytic virotherapy. Many factors such as off-target side effects, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, and cancer cell heterogeneity impact the treatment efficacy and application of immunotherapies against cancers. In addition, some treatments such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy have limitations in application against solid tumors. To deal with these drawbacks, delivery systems such as nanoparticles, hydrogel matrix, and exosomes have been developed and applied in recent decades to deliver immunotherapeutic agents.
