Immunotherapy and Dietary Selection

Abstract

Compromised immune function and immune environment in cancer patients create a situation where the immune system is unable to effectively detect and eliminate cancer cells. This allows tumors to grow and evade immune surveillance, leading to disease progression. Understanding these immune-related challenges is crucial for developing effective cancer treatments, such as immunotherapies, that aim to boost the immune response against cancer. Except for the conventional treatments, dietary interventions have been found to help patients by potentially improving their immune function by nutritional support, immune system boost, gut microbiome influence, etc. Also, it’s indispensable to notice that dietary interventions should be personalized, taking into account the specific needs, preferences, and tolerances of each cancer patient. This review aims to emphasize the importance of applying well modified and proper dietary in improving anti-cancer immunity of cancer patients.
