ABSTRACT=<p>Immunity is an important physiological function acquired throughout evolution as a defense system against the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. The immune system also eliminates senescent cells and maintains homeostasis, monitoring cell mutations and preventing tumor development <italic>via</italic> the action of the immune cells and molecules. Immunotherapy often relies on the interaction of immune cells with the tumor microenvironment (TME). Based on the distribution of the number of lymphocytes (CD3 and CD8) in the center and edge of the tumor and the expression level of B7-H1/PD-L1, tumors are divided into hot tumors, cold tumors, and intermediate tumors (including immune-suppressed and isolated). This review focuses on the advances in precision combination immunotherapy, which has been widely explored in recent years, and its application in different tumor types.</p>
