Abstract:
Brain cancer remains a significant challenge in oncology, necessitating novel treatment approaches to improve patient outcomes. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy for targeting brain tumors by harnessing the body's immune system. This paper provides a thorough examination of immunotherapy in brain cancer, exploring its mechanisms, challenges, and potential strategies to enhance efficacy. Drawing on existing literature and research, the paper discusses the role of immunotherapy in addressing the complexities of brain cancer and highlights the need for further investigation to optimize treatment strategies.
