Patients with glioblastoma (GBM) exhibit a complex state of immune dysfunction involving
multiple mechanisms of local, regional, and systemic immunosuppression and tolerance.
These pathways are now being identified and their relative contributions explored.
Delineating how these pathways are interrelated is paramount to effectively implementing
immunotherapy for GBM. Clin Cancer Res; 24 (17); 4059–61.© 2018 AACR. See related
