Cancer treatment has significantly evolved with the advent of immunotherapy, offering new avenues for harnessing the body's immune system to combat malignancies. This review explores the emerging therapeutic targets in oncology, focusing on the potential of immunomodulation to revolutionize cancer treatment. Immunomodulatory therapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy, cancer vaccines, adoptive cell transfer, and oncolytic virus therapy, have shown promising results in various malignancies. However, their efficacy is often limited by the tumor microenvironment and immune evasion mechanisms. This review delves into novel therapeutic targets, such as T-cell co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules (LAG-3, TIM-3, TIGIT), cytokines and chemokines (IL-2, IL-7, IL-12, IL-15, IL-21, CXCL9, CXCL10), and metabolic checkpoints (IDO1, arginase, adenosine pathway). Modulating the tumor microenvironment, targeting tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and regulatory T cells (Tregs) are also examined for their therapeutic potential. Combination therapies, which integrate multiple immunomodulatory strategies with conventional treatments, are highlighted for their enhanced efficacy. The review discusses predictive and prognostic biomarkers essential for personalized immunotherapy and addresses the challenges of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and resistance to treatment. Future directions emphasize the need for innovative approaches and personalized strategies to overcome current limitations and improve patient outcomes. This comprehensive review aims to provide a detailed understanding of the current landscape and future prospects of immunomodulation in oncology, highlighting the potential to transform cancer therapy and improve survival rates.
