Abstract Immunotherapies have revolutionized the treatment paradigms of various types cancers. However, most these immunomodulatory strategies focus on harnessing adaptive immunity, mainly by inhibiting immunosuppressive signaling with immune checkpoint blockade, or enhancing immunostimulatory bispecific T cell engager and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell. Although agents already achieved great success, only a tiny percentage patients could benefit from immunotherapies. Actually, immunotherapy efficacy is determined multiple components in tumor microenvironment beyond immunity. Cells innate arm system, such as macrophages, dendritic cells, myeloid-derived suppressor neutrophils, natural killer unconventional also participate cancer evasion surveillance. Considering that cornerstone antitumor response, utilizing immunity provides potential therapeutic options for control. Up to now, exploiting agonists stimulator interferon genes, CAR-macrophage -natural therapies, metabolic regulators, novel exhibited potent activities preclinical clinical studies. Here, we summarize latest insights into roles cells discuss advances arm-targeted strategies.

Malignant cells are known to evade immune surveillance by engaging checkpoints which negative regulators of the system. By restoring T-lymphocyte mediated anti-tumor effect, checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized treatment solid tumors but met rather modest success in hematological malignancies. Currently, only FDA approved indications for ICI therapy classic hodgkin lymphoma and primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma. Multiple clinical trials assessed alone combination with standard care treatments other lymphomas, plasma neoplasms myeloid were noted limited efficacy. These mostly focused on PD-1/PDL-1 CTLA-4 inhibitors. Recently, there has been an effort target like LAG-3, TIM-3, TIGIT along improving strategies inhibition. Drugs targeting macrophage checkpoint, CD47, also being tested. Long term safety efficacy data from these ongoing studies eagerly awaited.
