Overview
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant primary intracranial tumor with a median survival of about 18 months, and new therapies are urgently needed. Tumor vaccines has been shown to improve survival of GBM, but not all patients can benefit from vaccine treatment and biomarkers are urgently needed. Deletion of mismatch repair (MMR) protein and microsatellite instability (MSI) state are important features in the biological evolution of GBM, and may be used as markers for tumor vaccine. Therefore, this project will collect samples from GBM patients before and after vaccine treatment respectively, and evaluate the role of MMR/MSI gene phenotype in predicting vaccine efficacy and the potential molecular mechanism. Moreover, MMR/MSI phenotypes will be assessed by deep-learning and radiomics using images to establish noninvasive markers for vaccine.
