Abstract

As a potent clinical strategy, cancer therapy has sparked an academic boom over the past few years. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been demonstrated to be highly successful. These achievements have progressed cancer treatment and have made an indelible mark on cancer. However, the inherent complexity of cancer means that only part of the population can benefit from this treatment. Pyroptosis is a new suicidal cellular mechanism that induces inflammation by releasing immunogenic cellular components. Inflammatory signaling cascades mediated by pyroptosis commonly inspire numerous cell lysis in immune diseases. Contrariwise, this consequence may be a promising target in cancer research. Therefore, the present study briefly described programmed cell death processes and their potential roles in cancer. Because of the rapid development of bioengineering in cancer, the present study also examined the associated scaffolding available for cancer, highlighting advances in tumor engineering approaches. Ultimately, an improved understanding of pyroptosis and tumor scaffolding might shed light on a combination that can be manipulated for therapeutic purposes.
