实体肿瘤免疫检查点抑制剂治疗的影像学评估研究进展

Advances in Imaging-Based Evaluation of Solid Tumors Treated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

近年来,免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)在多种实体肿瘤治疗领域应用卓有成效,但其引发的特殊应答模式和免疫相关不良反应降低了疗效评价的准确性。影像学是评估肿瘤免疫治疗的重要手段,不仅可以利用形态学和功能成像评价疗效,又可结合人工智能技术提供独特预测价值。本文探讨了各种影像手段和人工智能技术在评估实体肿瘤ICI治疗领域的价值以及相关研究进展。

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown remarkable benefits in the treatment of solid tumors,while the occurrence of atypical response patterns and immune-related adverse events during treatment challenges the accuracy of therapeutic evaluation.Medical imaging is crucial for the evaluation of immunotherapy.It enables the assessment of treatment efficacy via both morphological and functional ways and offers unique a predictive value when being combined with artificial intelligence.Here we review the recent research progress in imaging-based evaluation of solid tumors treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
