Core Tip The management of glioblastoma (GBM) has entered a post-2021 era characterized more by convergent advances in molecular classification, trial design, and immunoengineering than by a single therapeutic breakthrough. The 2021 WHO Central Nervous System 5 redefinition of GBM as an isocitrate dehydrogenase-wildtype entity has altered clinical trial interpretation, diagnosis, and prognosis. Molecularly selected targeted therapies, improved Tumor Treating Fields, and a deliberate shift away from ineffective single-agent immunotherapy toward combinatorial and neoadjuvant approaches are driving incremental progress, even though conventional chemoradiation continues to be the cornerstone of care. Locoregionally administered, multivalent engineered cell therapies, along with developments in liquid biopsy, spatial profiling, and adaptive platform trials, provide the most convincing indications of future impact. When taken as a whole, these advancements highlight a move in GBM treatment paradigms toward precision-guided, biologically informed, and adaptive approaches.
