Abstract
The arachidonic acid (AA) pathway promotes tumor progression by modulating the complex interactions between cancer and immune cells within the microenvironment. In this Review, we summarize the knowledge acquired thus far concerning the intricate mechanisms through which eicosanoids either promote or suppress the antitumor immune response. In addition, we will discuss the impact of eicosanoids on immune cells and how they affect responsiveness to immunotherapy, as well as potential strategies for manipulating the AA pathway to improve anticancer immunotherapy. Understanding the molecular pathways and mechanisms underlying the role played by AA and its metabolites in tumor progression may contribute to the development of more effective anticancer immunotherapies.
