In recent years, the role of immunotherapy methods in combating tumors within neurosurgery has been increasing. Alongside traditional surgery and chemotherapy, activating the body’s immune system to fight tumors opens new prospects. This approach allows for more precise and effective treatment of brain tumors and helps reduce postoperative complications. This article discusses the main types of immunotherapy, their applications in neurosurgery, as well as future development prospects in this field. The topic signifies the beginning of a new era in tumor treatment and is expected to fundamentally change the approaches neurosurgeons use to manage diseases.
