肿瘤免疫治疗的现状与展望

Current status and prospective of cancer immunotherapy

目的随着肿瘤学、免疫学以及分子生物学等相关学科的迅速发展和交叉渗透,肿瘤免疫治疗的研究突飞猛进。免疫治疗成为继手术、放射治疗和化学治疗之后又一种重要的抗肿瘤治疗手段,成为攻克恶性肿瘤的希望。进入21世纪,新型的特异性细胞免疫治疗技术得到迅速发展,为全世界成千上万肿瘤患者带来新的希望。化学治疗联合免疫治疗是肿瘤治疗的新模式。同时如何客观评价免疫治疗疗效也成为研究热点。

Increasing knowledge has increased awareness of roles of immunotherapy in cancer treatment. Such immunomodulation targeting specific immunopathways has risen the understandings that more and more methods could be incorporated into the clinical applications. The immunotherapy eliciting specific cellular immune response against cancer cells might result in tumor cell lysis and subsequently enhancing ability of antigen presenting cells and shows synergism with the cytotoxicity of chemotherapy.
