Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising cancer treatment, however success in only select clinical indications underscores the need for novel approaches. Recently Listeria monocytogenes- based vaccines have been developed to drive tumor specific T-cell responses. Here, we discuss recent preclinical studies using L. monocytogenes vaccines, innate immune pathways that influence T-cell priming, and new vaccine strategies in clinical trials.
