Despite optimal therapy with surgery, radiation, temozolomide chemotherapy, and, in some cases, tumor-treating fields, the prognosis remains poor with median survival of approximately 20 months from the time of diagnosis for patients without methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation and about 2 years for those with MGMT promoter methylation.1 Poor survival is associated with paucity of intratumoral T cell infiltrates and a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. To date, clinical trials of conventional tumor vaccines and checkpoint inhibitors have failed to d...
