Abstract: In the absence of a satisfactory treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), novel
therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Among these, immunotherapy offers a series of advantages
such as tumor specificity and good tolerability. Unfortunately, MPM immunotherapy is frequently
limited by incomplete cell differentiation or feedback loop regulatory mechanisms. In this review, we
describe different components of the innate immune system and discuss strategies to improve MPM
immunotherapy by using epigenetic modulators.
