The role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in mediating immune suppression of anti-tumor immune responses is increasingly appreciated in patients with malignancies-especially within the malignant glioma patient population. This article discuss the role and prognostic significance of Tregs within glioma patients and delineates potential approaches for their inhibition that can be used alone or in combination with other immune therapeutics in clinical trials and in the clinical settings of recurrent or residual disease.
调节性T细胞(Tregs)在介导抗肿瘤免疫反应的免疫抑制中的作用,在恶性肿瘤患者中,尤其是在恶性胶质瘤患者群体中,越来越受到重视。本文讨论了Tregs在胶质瘤患者中的作用和预后意义,并阐述了在临床试验以及复发性或残留性疾病的临床环境中,可单独使用或与其他免疫疗法联合使用的针对Tregs的潜在抑制方法。
