Ferroptosis is a novel regulatory cell death, which is characterized by iron dependency and mainly caused by accumulation of intracellular lipid peroxides and reactive oxygen species. Ferroptosis plays an important role in the occurrence and development of a variety of malignant tumors, especially in anti-tumor treatment. As an emerging treatment method, the immunotherapy has been widely applied in the clinical practice, and the role of ferroptosis in tumor immunotherapy has been gradually explored. This study aims to illustrate the features of ferroptosis, and its role in anti-tumor immunotherapy and potential clinical application.

Cancer vaccines represent a transformative shift in oncology, aiming to prevent malignancies or treat established cancers by training the immune system to recognize tumor-specific or tumor-associated antigens. This review explores the diverse platforms and mechanisms supporting cancer vaccines, ranging from prophylactic vaccines such as HPV and hepatitis B vaccines that have significantly reduced virus-related cancers to therapeutic vaccines like Sipuleucel-T and T-VEC that extend survival in prostate cancer and melanoma. Vaccine types are classified, and delivery platforms including mRNA, peptide, dendritic cell and viral vector-based approaches are examined alongside pivotal clinical trial outcomes.

Antibody-based therapies have revolutionized cancer treatment but have several limitations. These include: down-regulation of the target antigen; mutation of the target epitope; or in the case of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), resistance to the chemotherapy warhead. Since TROP2-targeted therapy with ADCs yields responses in TROP2+ solid tumors but lacks the durability observed with other immunotherapy-based approaches, we developed novel TROP2-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells as an alternative.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is defined by a myeloid-enriched microenvironment and has shown remarkable resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (e.g., PD-1 and CTLA-4).

A subset of rectal cancer (RC), <5%, exhibits mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR); the remaining are classified as proficient (pMMR). Reported evidence on differences between dMMR and pMMR RC is limited. In this nationwide Dutch study, we compared patients with dMMR and pMMR stage II/III RC based on patient and tumor characteristics, treatment patterns, and associated outcomes.

Metastatic and relapsed osteosarcoma (OS) remains difficult to treat despite advanced surgical techniques, intensified chemotherapy, and targeted therapies. Adoptive immunotherapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, are in their nascent stage, but remain a viable therapeutic strategy for patients with aggressive solid tumors such as OS. Folate receptor- (FOLR1) has been functionally implicated in OS pathophysiology, providing rationale as a potential therapeutic target.
