Characterization of the immune microenvironment of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma: implications for development of immunotherapy
[ PUBLICATION ]
Background: Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a uniformly fatal CNS tumor diagnosed in 300 American children per year. Radiation is the only effective treatment and extends overall survival to a median of 11 months. Due to its location in the brainstem, DIPG cannot be surgically resected. Immunotherapy has the ability to target tumor cells specifically; however, little is known about the tumor microenvironment in DIPGs. We sought to characterize infiltrating immune cells and ...
