The glioma microenvironment is mostly composed of tumor cells, immune cells, and stromal tissue. The most prominent cells of the immune compartment include tumor-associated macrophages, regulatory T-cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and dendritic cells. These cells interact with other components of the tumor microenvironment and play a role in regulating immune response, either through their pro- or anti-tumoral function, subsequently affecting tumor development, progression, and response to therapy. TAMs tumor-associated macrophages, T-reg regulatory T-cells, MDSCs myeloid-derived suppressor cells, NK cell natural killer cell.
