Notch signaling is an extremely conserved and widely used mechanism controlling cell fate determination. Recent evidence shows that Notch receptors regulate cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis in many cells, including neoplastic cells. In the context of cancer experimental immunotherapy and multimodality therapy, the Notch signaling network is acquiring increasing importance for its possible roles in both neoplastic cells and the immune system. In this review, we discuss: (i) the roles of Notch signaling in cancer cells and the immune system; and (ii) strategies through which Notch-targeting biologicals may be used to increase the effectiveness of multimodality cancer treatment, including cancer vaccines.
