The multicellular gene network approach developed herein indicates profound roles of the macrophage-mediated tumor microenvironment in the progression and drug resistance of gliomas. The identified macrophage-related gene signature has good prognostic value for predicting resistance to targeted therapeutics and survival of glioma patients, implying that combining current targeted therapies with new macrophage-targeted therapy may be beneficial for the long-term treatment outcomes of glioma patients.
