The aim of this paper is to cover recent findings în oncology immunotherapy, including the use of inhibitory T cells, modified T cells, anti-cancer vaccines, and anti-B and T antibodies. In veterinary oncology, immunotherapy is increasingly used due to impressive results. Modified T-cell therapy has demonstrated remarkable tumor control and regression în human subjects, and anticancer vaccines have recently demonstrated long disease-free periods and increased survival time în dogs with lymphoma. Thus, due to the clinical effects obtained, immunomodulators are successfully used în veterinary oncology therapy.
