Abstract: (57 Views)
Despite common therapies including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, glioblastoma (GBM), the most aggressive, challenging, and resistant primary brain metastasis version, has a terrible prognosis when it comes to the survival chances. Although immunotherapy has demonstrated promise in treating a number of malignancies, its effectiveness in GBM is still restricted because of the tumor's extremely immunosuppressive microenvironment. Neoantigen-based treatments target tumor-specific antigens produced by somatic mutations, providing a unique and customized approach. Because tumor cells express these neoantigens exclusively, they are prime candidates for immune identification with the least amount of off-target consequences. Early clinical trials have shown the safety and immunogenicity of strategies like customized cancer vaccines and adoptive cell treatments (ACT). This review explores the potential of neoantigen-based immunotherapy in GBM, highlighting recent advancements, challenges, and future directions for improving treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
