Tumor immunotherapy is a new technique for cancer treatment. However, the low clinical response rate of tumor immunotherapy at this stage seriously restricts its further application. The fundamental reason is that the immunosuppressive microenvironment of tumor tissue limits the antitumor activity of T cells, and the metabolic changes of tumor tissue play a key role in the formation of tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment. In this paper, we focus on enhancing the antitumor activity of T cells by regulating the aerobic glycolysis, amino acid metabolism and fatty acid metabolism of tumors. Finally, the current problems in the research of tumor metabolism regulation are proposed, and the development prospects of nanocarriers in the field of tumor metabolism are prospected.
