The clinical translation of stimulator of interferon genes (STING)agonist-based cancer immunotherapy is limited by uncontrolled and sustained STING activation, which leads to immune exhaustion and systemic toxicity. In this forum, we critically analyze recent advances, including stimuli-responsive, biomimetic, pulsatile, intracellular-triggered release, and synergistic systems that enable precise spatiotemporal STING activation, as well as associated gaps in clinical translation. Finally, we present futuristic perspectives on next-generation STING-based cancer immunotherapy strategies.
