Abstract

In recent years, breast cancer has been the leading cause of cancer death among women. Researchers are leading studies related to the breast cancer to help with progress of our understanding of cancer and exploring more efficient and less toxic therapies. Increased public awareness and advances in the preclinical proof of feasibility and clinical confirmation of have led to earlier diagnosis and novel curative therapies. Immunomodulation is an emerging treatment, which enhance the immunity against cancer cells through releasing various cytokines, expanding to gene-based treatments. Therefore, this work reviews the immunomodulation approach and its potential application when combined with other therapies (oncolytic virotherapy, radiotherapy, physical therapy).
