Abstract

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) has a 5-year survival rate of only 5.4%.

  • GBM is characterized by significant challenges in delivering chemotherapy across the blood brain barrier.
  • The immune environment surrounding GBM is influenced by tumor signaling, leading to immunosuppression.
  • There is conflicting evidence regarding whether pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory therapies are more effective in treating GBM.
  • Particle delivery systems may enhance the transport of immune-stimulatory molecules to target GBM.
  • Literature from the past 3 years has investigated the combination of particle delivery systems and immunotherapy for GBM treatment.
