Certain vaccines and fungal sugars reprogramme the bone marrow so it produces more aggressive immune cells for months. That could be used before immunotherapy.
Trained immunity (epigenetic reprogramming of haematopoietic progenitors by BCG or beta-glucan) produces durable changes in myeloid output and reduced tumour growth in mouse models, and BCG's efficacy in bladder cancer is the oldest immunotherapy in use. Priming the marrow before checkpoint therapy or cell therapy is a cheap, generic intervention that has never been formally tested in solid tumours.
