The outbreak of immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment. Despite the results confirming the effectiveness of immunotherapy, some studies have reported poor responsiveness to this therapeutic approach. The effectiveness of immunotherapy is dependent on numerous factors related to patients' lifestyles and health status. Diet, as an essential component of lifestyle, plays a major role in determining immunotherapy outcomes. It can significantly influence the body, gut microbiome composition, and metabolism, both in general and in tumor microenvironment. Consuming certain diets has resulted in either improved or worsened outcomes in patients receiving immunotherapy. For example, several recent studies have associated ketogenic, plant-based, and microbiome-favoring diets with promising outcomes. Moreover, obesity and dietary deprivation have impacted immunotherapy responsiveness, yet the studies are inconsistent in this context. This narrative review aims to integrate the results from many articles that have studied the contribution of diet to immunotherapy. We will start by introducing the multiple effects of dietary status on cancer progression and treatment. Then we will proceed to discuss various regimens known to affect immunotherapy outcomes, including ketogenic, high-fiber, and obesity-inducing diets and regimens that either contain or lack specific nutrients. Finally, we will elaborate on how composition of the gut microbiome may influence immunotherapy.
