Abstract

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and most common primary brain tumor in adults, with a very poor prognosis, due to limited therapeutic efficacy of available treatments. The promising data deriving from the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in other cancers have prompted evaluation of its efficacy and possible use in patients with glioblastoma. In this review, we analyzed the available data about these drugs in glioblastoma. Although data are not yet mature and preliminary studies do not show a clear-cut benefit, we are far from excluding the concrete possibility of using ICI as potential treatment in patients with glioblastoma. Moreover, many molecular and immunological aspects of this approach have yet to be clarified. For this reason, it is essential to identify potential predictive biomarkers for the selection of patients who will benefit most from treatment with ICI. Additional effort is needed to better understand the mechanisms that will allow us to establish whether ICI have a place in the treatment of patients with glioblastoma.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
