Abstract: Cancer is a significant global health issue with increasing incidence and mortality rates. Traditional cancer treatment methods, including surgical removal, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, have achieved some efficacy to a certain extent but still pose many limitations and side effects. Therefore, finding new treatment strategies has become a focal point in current cancer research. Immune modulators, as a novel approach to cancer treatment, have the characteristics of regulating the immune system and enhancing the body's immune response, showing promising results in clinical practice. However, there is currently some controversy and uncertainty regarding the prospects of immune modulators in cancer treatment. Thus, this review aims to summarize the application prospects of immune modulators in cancer treatment, explore their mechanisms of action, clinical application status, and development trends, providing a reference for further research and clinical practice.
