The intricate interaction between skeletal muscle biomechanics, the tumor microenvironment, and immunotherapy constitutes a pivotal research focus oncology. This work provides comprehensive review of methodologies for evaluating including handheld dynamometry, advanced imaging techniques, electrical impedance myography, elastography, single-fiber experiments to assess quality performance. Furthermore, it elucidates mechanisms, applications, limitations various modalities, immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapy, cancer vaccines, combined chemoimmunotherapy, while examining their effects on function systemic responses. Key findings indicate that although is effective in augmenting antitumor immunity, frequently induces muscle-related adverse such as weakness, fatigue, or damage, primarily mediated by cytokine release activation. underscores significance niches within microenvironment influencing treatment outcomes proposes strategies optimize therapy through personalized regimens combinatorial approaches. highlights need further formation interactions muscle-tumor. Our crucial advancing efficacy immunotherapy, reducing effects, ultimately improving survival rates life patients with cancer.
