1 - 16 . (canceled) 17 : A method for overcoming immunosuppression, the method comprising administering an effective amount of an anthracycline antibiotic to a patient. 18 : A method for inhibiting FOXP3 function, the method comprising administering an effective amount of an anthracycline antibiotic to a patient. 19 : The method of claim 17 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is one or more selected from the group consisting of epirubicin, doxorubicin, pirarubicin, daunorubicin, idarubicin, and a salt thereof. 20 : The method of claim 17 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is epirubicin or a salt thereof. 21 : The method of claim 17 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is administered at a lower dose than a dose having cytotoxicity against cancer cells. 22 : The method of claim 17 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is administered at a lower dose than a dose having cytotoxicity against at least one selected from the group consisting of a solid cancer and a blood cancer. 23 : The method of claim 17 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is administered in a range of 0.01 to 1 mg/kg per day. 24 : The method of claim 17 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is administered in a range of 1/100 to ⅘ of a dose having cytotoxicity against at least one selected from the group consisting of a solid cancer and a blood cancer. 25 : The method of claim 17 , further comprising another anticancer therapy. 26 : The method of claim 25 , wherein the another anticancer therapy is a cancer chemotherapy or a cancer immunotherapy. 27 : The method of claim 26 , wherein the cancer immunotherapy is an immune checkpoint blockade therapy, a cancer vaccine therapy, or a T cell transfer therapy. 28 : The method of claim 18 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is one or more selected from the group consisting of epirubicin, doxorubicin, pirarubicin, daunorubicin, idarubicin, and a salt thereof. 29 : The method of claim 18 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is epirubicin or a salt thereof. 30 : The method of claim 18 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is administered at a lower dose than a dose having cytotoxicity against cancer cells. 31 : The method of claim 18 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is administered at a lower dose than a dose having cytotoxicity against at least one selected from the group consisting of a solid cancer and a blood cancer. 32 : The method of claim 18 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is administered in a range of 0.01 to 1 mg/kg per day. 33 : The method of claim 18 , wherein the anthracycline antibiotic is administered in a range of 1/100 to ⅘ of a dose having cytotoxicity against at least one selected from the group consisting of a solid cancer and a blood cancer. 34 : The method of claim 18 , further comprising another anticancer therapy. 35 : The method of claim 34 , wherein the another anticancer therapy is a cancer chemotherapy or a cancer immunotherapy. 36 : The method of claim 35 , wherein the cancer immunotherapy is an immune checkpoint blockade therapy, a cancer vaccine therapy, or a T cell transfer therapy.
