Breathing in an immune-activating drug could turn the lungs into bad soil for cancer seeds, at doses far too low to cause body-wide side-effects.
Inhaled GM-CSF was tested in paediatric osteosarcoma lung metastases and inhaled interleukin-2 in renal cancer, both with local immune activation, acceptable safety and underpowered efficacy. Modern versions (an inhaled interleukin-15 superagonist, an inhaled STING agonist or an inhaled anti-CD47) could be aimed at lung-metastasis prevention rather than treatment, where the target cell burden is tiny.
