Book excerpt: With their unprecedented success, cancer immunotherapies including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), cancer vaccines, adoptive cell therapy (ATC), and immunomodulators are being increasingly used for various malignancies. Distinct from traditional treatments including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, immunotherapeutics attempt to create long-lasting anti-tumor effects. However, only a minority of patients experience long-term benefits to single-agent immunotherapy, and most patients do not have initial responses to the immunotherapy or develop relapse after promising initial responses. Strategies to overcome immunotherapy resistance include (1) the development of biomarkers to select potential responders and/or exclude potential non-responders; and (2) the usage of combination treatments (ICIs, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, vaccines, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and etc.) comprising different mechanisms of action and target multiple resistant mechanisms. At the same time, the possibility of new side effects due to the combinatorial strategies or the potential amplification of the well-known side effects of the ICIs, termed immune-related adverse events (irAEs), should be carefully monitored.
