Implication

Narrative review uncovers mechanisms of tumor immune escape, highlighting potential immunotherapies and natural phytochemicals to enhance tumor rejection.

Key Points

  • To review the biological mechanisms underlying cancer immune evasion and summarize emerging therapeutic interventions aimed at promoting tumor rejection.
  • Narrative synthesis of cellular and molecular pathways involved in tumor immune escape.
  • Evaluation of therapeutic targets designed to counteract immune evasion, including immunomodulators and plant-derived compounds.
  • Tumors evade host surveillance through immunoediting, dormancy via equilibrium and senescence, impaired antigen presentation, and regulatory T cell-mediated immunosuppression.
  • Anticancer strategies promoting T helper 1, natural killer cell, and gamma-delta T cell responses, along with interleukin-12 induction, demonstrate effectiveness in countering tumor progression.
  • Bioactive phytochemicals and plant- or mushroom-derived polysaccharides counter tumor-induced genetic instability, dysregulated metabolism, and proliferative signaling.
