Dendritic cells (DCs) are key orchestrators of immune responses. A specific DC subset, conventional type 1 DCs (cDC1s), has been recently associated with human cancer patient survival and, in preclinical models, is critical for the spontaneous rejection of immunogenic cancers and for the success of T cell–based immunotherapies. The unique role of cDC1 reflects the ability to initiate de novo T cell responses after migrating to tumor-draining lymph nodes, as well as to attract T cells, secrete cytokines, and present tumor antigens within the tumor microenvironment, enhancing local cytotoxic T cell function. Strategies aimed at increasing cDC1 abundance in tumors and enhancing their functionality provide attractive new avenues to boost anti-tumor immunity and overcome resistance to cancer immunotherapies. Conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) are a specialized subset of DCs with a unique role in cancer immune control. Rejection of immunogenic cancers and the success of T cell–based immunotherapies in preclinical models requires functional cDC1s. In human cancer patients, cDC1 abundance in tumor tissue is associated with cancer patient survival and the responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade. The access of cDC1s to tumor tissue is tightly regulated and involves chemokine secretion from intratumoral lymphocytes such as natural killer cells. Tumor-derived factors impair anti-tumor immunity by limiting cDC1 accumulation, survival, and function within the tumor microenvironment.
