{Abstract}: Immunotherapy has developed into an important modality of modern cancer treatment. Unfortunately, checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapies are currently delivered systemically and require frequent administration, which can result in toxicity and severe, sometimes fatal, adverse events. Localized delivery of immunomodulators for oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders offers the promise of maximum therapeutic potential and reduced systemic adverse effects. This review will discuss the limitations of current standard-of-care systemic therapies and highlight research advances in localized, intratumoral delivery platforms for immunotherapy for oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders.
