Abstract

As a malignant tumor of the nervous system, the pathogenesis of glioma is still unclear. Through treatment methods such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and electric field therapy, gliomas can achieve certain therapeutic effects, but there are still problems such as large adverse reactions and toxic side effects, which cause serious economic and psychological burdens to patients. In recent years, the tumor microenvironment (TME) has played an important role in the progression and treatment of gliomas, as it can delay the progression of gliomas and achieve therapeutic effects. In recent years, there have been many research achievements related to this, but there is a lack of systematic organization. Therefore, this study aims to systematically summarize the relevant mechanisms of TME in glioma, in order to provide new ideas for the treatment of glioma.
