Brain metastasis leads to poor outcomes and CNS injury, significantly reducing quality of life and survival rates. Advances in understanding the tumor immune microenvironment have revealed the promise of immunotherapies, which, alongside surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, offer improved survival for some patients. However, resistance to immunotherapy remains a critical challenge. This review explores the immune landscape of brain metastases, current therapies, clinical trials, and the need for personalized, biomarker-driven approaches to optimize outcomes.
脑转移会导致不良后果和中枢神经系统损伤,显著降低生活质量和生存率。对肿瘤免疫微环境认识的进展揭示了免疫疗法的前景,免疫疗法与手术、化疗和放疗一起,为一些患者提供了更长的生存期。然而,对免疫疗法的耐药性仍然是一个关键挑战。本综述探讨了脑转移的免疫格局、当前的治疗方法、临床试验,以及采用个性化的、基于生物标志物的方法来优化治疗效果的必要性。
