Therapeutic cancer vaccines have undergone a resurgence in the past decade.Because of the high level of immune cell accumulation and abundant capillary lymphatic system in the dermis,percutaneous vaccina-tion is considered to be an ideal treatment route.For convenient administration,the recent development of microneedles(MNs)provides a safe,painless,and low-cost transdermal delivery strategy,which could bypass the first-pass metabolism of vaccines for enhanced stability and bioavailability.However,the ther-apeutic effect of MNs-based cancer vaccines is not optimal,which is limited by the complex set of host,tumor,and environmental factors,as well as the limited vaccine loading capacity.Therefore,further im-provements are still required to push their clinical translation.In this critical review,we deliberate on how to improve the therapeutic effect of MNs-based vaccines for cancer immunotherapy,summarize the recent advances in MNs-based cancer vaccination,and provide an overview of various design strategies and mechanisms for active or passive targeting delivery,aiming to develop safer,more effective,and more stable MNs-based cancer vaccines.Finally,we briefly describe the potential of vaccine platforms in com-bination with other therapies,suggest the need to design vaccines according to specific circumstances,and discuss the biosafety of repeated administration for enhancing clinical efficacy.
