The clinical potential of nano-immunotherapy has recently been demonstrated in a phase III trial in which nano-albumin paclitaxel (Abraxane®) was combined with atezolizumab (Tecentriq®) for the treatment of patients suffering from advanced triple-negative breast cancer. In this context, a low degree of tumor accumulation for a specific nanoparticle or cancer type is not necessarily a disadvantage anymore, since nanomedicines targeting other cells and tissues may help to boost the therapeutic efficacy of combination immunotherapy, including that with checkpoint antibodies [22] . As will be outlined in this paper, the ability of nanomedicines to activate cancer immunity and improve immunotherapeutic responses holds great potential, and there are already several pieces of evidence demonstrating that nano-immunotherapy has a bright clinical future. ./cache/cord-012781-e4js9qrs.txt ./txt/cord-012781-e4js9qrs.txt
