Abstract: The occurrence and development of malignant glioma are closely related to abnormal overexpression and activation of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signal transduction pathways. Targeted therapeutic drugs such as RTK inhibitors, RTK downstream signaling pathway inhibitors and multitarget inhibitors can targeting treat malignant glioma at molecular level, some of which have been investigated in clinical trials and achieved good therapeutic effects.

Key words: Glioma, Clinical trial, Receptor protein-tyrosine kinase inhabitor
