At the interface between the innate and adaptive immune system, dendritic cells (DCs) play key roles in tumour immunity and hold a hitherto unrealized potential for cancer immunotherapy. Here we review the role of distinct DC subsets in the tumour microenvironment, with special emphasis on conventional type 1 DCs. Integrating new knowledge of DC biology and advancements in cell engineering, we provide a blueprint for the rational design of optimized DC vaccines for personalized cancer medicine.
