胶质瘤免疫治疗研究进展

Although some progress has been made in tumor treatment, gliomas remain one of the tumors that can still seriously threaten human life and health. Due to the particularity of the immune microenvironment of the central nervous system and the strong invasiveness of tumors, the treatment of gliomas remains a major challenge. Currently, researchers have explored a large number of immunotherapy programs to improve the survival and prognosis of glioma patients, including tumor vaccines, immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell transfer therapy, viral vector therapy, and genetic engineering therapy.

The goal of these programs is to activate or change the immunosuppressive environment and target tumor cells through drugs, combined with surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and anti-angiogenesis drugs, to achieve the purpose of treating glioma. This review briefly describes the immunosuppressive microenvironment of gliomas and summarizes recent immunotherapeutic strategies and their progress. The aim is to summarize the latest immunotherapies for the treatment of gliomas and provide new research directions.
