Abstract

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. Current treatment involves a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, novel therapy methods are urgently needed to improve its 5-years survival rate and poor prognosis. The exploration of the complex relationships within the tumor immune microenvironment has led to various clinical trials related to immunotherapy which have attracted much attention, including the application of dendritic cells. Dendritic cells are natural antigen-presenting cells that can stimulate anti-tumor immune responses. Encouraging work has been carried out using these cells as vaccines against some tumors. This review aims to introduce the progress in research into dendritic cell related therapy for HNSCC.
