Abstract: Polyphenols have demonstrated several potential biological activities, notably antitumoral activity dependent on immune function. In the present review, we describe studies that investigated antitumor immune responses influenced by polyphenols and the mechanisms by which polyphenols improve the immune response. We also discuss the limitations in related areas, especially unexplored areas of research, and next steps required to develop a therapeutic approach utilizing polyphenols in oncology.<br /> (Copyright © 2020.
