Résumé

The immunotherapy of cerebral glioblastoma has become a hot topic. Immune checkpoint blockade antibodies have progressively acquired a role in the management of malignant tumors. A multimodal approach using surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy in combination with immunotherapy represent a potent weapon against glioblastomas. In parallel, clinical applications of cryotherapy - freezing tumors based on repetition of rapid freeze-slow thaw cycle - for various cancers such as skin, lung, breast, esophagus, hepatic, kidney, prostate and bone tumors were developed. The future immunomodulatory approaches might be combined with brain tumors cryoablation to increase the cryoimmune response.
