Abstract
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.Entities:
