In recent years, the number of cancer patients has been increasing, which calls for new approaches to treatment. One of the effective therapeutic options is immunotherapy, which relies on activating the individual's immune system to enable an attack on cancer cells. In this article, we are highlighting the STAT3 protein as a newer target of immunotherapy, along with the use of mRNA molecules. Additionally, the search for new compounds also focuses on the energy metabolism of cancer cells, as it presents several opportunities for developing effective anti-tumor drugs. We focused on three important aspects of cancer cell metabolism that can be targeted for inhibition. The discovery of new targets in cancer therapy raises hope for more effective treatment of patients and reducing the burden of their diseases.
