Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain tumour in adults, and has a notoriously poor prognosis. Recent successes of immunotherapy in other cancer types have made immunotherapy—particularly the use of immune checkpoint modulators—an appealing strategy against glioblastoma. Here, Matthias Preusser and colleagues summarize current knowledge on immune checkpoint modulators, and evaluate their potential role in glioblastoma treatment in light of preclinical studies and emerging clinical data.
