Cancer immunotherapy shows promising potential in future cancer treatment but unfortunately is clinically unsatisfactory due to the low therapeutic efficacy and the possible severe immunotoxicity. Here we show a combined magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) and checkpoint blockade immunotherapy for both primary tumor ablation and mimetic metastatic tumor inhibition. Monodispersed, high-performance superparamagnetic CoFe2O4@MnFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized and used for effective MHT-induced thermal ablation of primary tumors. Simultaneously, numerous tumor-associated antigens were produced to promote the maturation and activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and cytotoxic T cells for effective immunotherapy of distant mimetic metastatic tumors in a tumor-bearing mice model. The combined MHT and checkpoint blockade immunotherapy demonstrate the great potentials in the fight against both primary and metastatic tumors.
