One of the most prevalent primary malignant brain tumors is glioblastoma (GB). About 6 incidents per 100,000 people are reported annually. Most frequently, these tumors are linked to a poor prognosis and poor quality of life. There has been little advancement in the treatment of GB. In recent years, some innovative medicines have been tested for the treatment of newly diagnosed cases of GB and recurrent cases of GB. Surgery, radiotherapy, and alkylating chemotherapy are all common treatments for GB. A few of the potential alternatives include immunotherapy, tumor-treating fields (TTFs), and medications that target specific cellular receptors. To provide new multimodal therapies that focus on the molecular pathways implicated in tumor initiation and progression in GB, novel medications, delivery technologies, and immunotherapy approaches are being researched. Of these, oncolytic viruses (OVs) are among the most recent. Coupling OVs with certain modern treatment approaches may have significant benefits for GB patients. Here, we discuss several OVs and how they work in conjunction with other therapies, as well as virotherapy for GB. The study was based on the PRISMA guidelines. Systematic retrieval of information was performed on PubMed. A total of 307 articles were found in a search on oncolytic viral therapies for glioblastoma. Out of these 83 articles were meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, reviews, and systematic reviews. A total of 42 articles were from the years 2018 to 2023. Appropriate studies were isolated, and important information from each of them was understood and entered into a database from which the information was used in this article. One of the most prevalent malignant brain tumors is still GB. Significant promise and opportunity exist for oncolytic viruses in the treatment of GB and in boosting immune response. Making the most of OVs in the treatment of GB requires careful consideration and evaluation of a number of its application factors.
一种最常见的原发性恶性脑肿瘤是胶质母细胞瘤(GB)。每年约有 6 例/每 10 万人发病。这些肿瘤通常与预后不良和生活质量差有关。GB 的治疗进展甚微。近年来,一些创新药物已被用于治疗新诊断的 GB 和复发性 GB。手术、放疗和烷化剂化疗都是 GB 的常见治疗方法。一些潜在的替代方法包括免疫疗法、肿瘤治疗电场(TTFs)和针对特定细胞受体的药物。为了提供专注于胶质母细胞瘤中肿瘤起始和进展所涉及的分子途径的新的多模式治疗方法,正在研究新型药物、递送技术和免疫疗法方法。其中,溶瘤病毒(OVs)是最新的方法之一。将 OVs 与某些现代治疗方法结合使用可能会给 GB 患者带来显著的益处。在这里,我们讨论了几种 OVs 以及它们与其他疗法的协同作用,以及针对 GB 的病毒疗法。该研究基于 PRISMA 指南。在 PubMed 上进行了系统的信息检索。在针对胶质母细胞瘤的溶瘤病毒治疗的搜索中,共找到了 307 篇文章。其中 83 篇是荟萃分析、随机对照试验、综述和系统评价。2018 年至 2023 年共有 42 篇文章。分离出适当的研究,并从每篇研究中理解和输入重要信息到数据库中,这些信息用于本文中。胶质母细胞瘤仍然是最常见的恶性脑肿瘤之一。溶瘤病毒在治疗胶质母细胞瘤和增强免疫反应方面具有很大的希望和机会。为了充分利用 OVs 在治疗胶质母细胞瘤中的作用,需要仔细考虑和评估其应用的许多因素。
