Abstract

Glioblastomas are the most common form of malignant primary brain tumor and an important cause of morbidity and mortality. In recent years there have been important advances in understanding the molecular pathogenesis and biology of these tumors, but this has not translated into significantly improved outcomes for patients. In this consensus review from the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) and the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO), the current management of isocitrate dehydrogenase wildtype (IDHwt) glioblastomas will be discussed. In addition, novel therapies such as targeted molecular therapies, agents targeting DNA damage response and metabolism, immunotherapies, and viral therapies will be reviewed, as well as the current challenges and future directions for research.

  • For HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with surgically resected MGMT-unmethylated GBM following standard of care, there is currently no efficacious treatment option available.

    “For this patient population, there is currently no efficacious treatment option available [4].”

    From Preclinical development of an mRNA-based multiepitope immunotherapeutic for glioblastoma (2025) · cites this paper as [4]

    The Predictive Biomarkers section says temozolomide has little or no benefit in MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma. The Recurrent Glioblastoma section says there is no clear standard-of-care salvage therapy and that listed options have not prolonged survival in randomized trials. Neither passage establishes that no efficacious treatment exists specifically for HLA-A*02:01-positive, surgically resected patients following standard care. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The current standard of care for GBM includes surgical resection and post-surgery radiotherapy with or without temozolomide chemotherapy.

    “The current standard of care for GBM includes surgical resection and post-surgery radiotherapy with or without temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy [4, 5].”
  • Despite standard of care treatment, GBM recurrence is inevitable and there is no agreed salvage therapy post-recurrence.

    “Despite standard of care treatment, GBM recurrence is inevitable and there is no agreed salvage therapy post-recurrence [4, 5].”

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.
