Medical treatment for MPM unresectable patients is still unsatisfactory; therefore novel therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Immunotherapy represents a promising treatment for MPM patients. Here, we'll discuss the most promising immunotherapeutic treatments currently under active investigation for this still dreadful disease.Entities:
