ESMO 2022: spotlight on new emerging treatment options in central nervous system tumors

Summary Nearly 40 abstracts regarding tumors of the central nervous system were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in September 2022. While no practice-changing data were shown, interesting early phase clinical trial results on immune-modulating agents, targeted treatments and other therapeutic modalities were revealed (Table 1 ). In this short review, we aim to summarize our personal highlights of the presented data and outline future perspectives in the field.
