Traditional treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy have limited effectiveness. Proteasome inhibitors, as an emerging anti-tumor therapy, interfere with intracellular protein homeostasis by inhibiting the pathway of cellular protein degradation, thereby inducing tumor cell death. This article reviews the mechanism of action, preclinical and clinical research progress of proteasome inhibitors in the treatment of glioblastoma, and explores their application prospects and challenges.展开更多
