abstract = {Brain tumors represent a unique challenge for cancer
immunotherapies because of their location in an immune
privileged site. However, the brain tumor immune
microenvironment is dictated more by tumor type than the
location within the brain per se. This feature is reflected
by the higher immunogenicity and response to immunotherapies
of metastatic brain tumors compared with primary brain
tumors. Immunotherapies for brain tumors aim at inducing and
boosting tumor T cell responses using vaccines, immune
checkpoint inhibitors, or adoptive T cell therapies. A
fundamental challenge in the field is how such brain
tumor-targeting T cells gain access to brain tumors and
maintain their function despite a hostile immunosuppressive
microenvironment. Here, we review current knowledge of the
cellular and molecular determinants of the antigenicity of
brain tumors and the immunosuppressive brain tumor
microenvironment. Expanding and exploiting this knowledge
will provide the key for effective combinatorial therapies.},
