免疫PET显像:靶向免疫激活探索癌症联合治疗的最新进展

ImmunoPET imaging: recent progress in targeting immune activation for exploring cancer combination therapy

  • 摘要: 免疫疗法(IMT),特别是免疫检查点抑制剂的应用,为癌症治疗带来了革命性的突破,但只有少数患者(10%~30%)对IMT的单一疗法表现出长期反应。联合治疗中,不同药物之间以互补或协同的方式发挥作用,显示出巨大潜力,但联合用药的治疗反应率差异较大,在提高治疗效果的同时可能伴随严重的不良反应。因此,为了安全、有效、广泛地使用这些具有良好应用前景的治疗方法,需要进行更多的研究。值得注意的是,免疫PET显像是开发联合治疗并实现联合治疗临床转化的有益工具。笔者介绍了几种可用于靶向免疫激活的特异性生物标志物,概述了免疫PET显像在探索癌症联合治疗中的最新进展,并探讨了未来该类显像方法在临床前研究和临床应用中的发展方向。

     

    Abstract: The application of immunotherapy (IMT), especially immune checkpoint inhibitors, has brought revolutionary breakthroughs to cancer treatment, but only a few patients (10% to 30%) have shown a long-term response to the single therapy of IMT. In combination therapy, different drugs play a complementary or synergistic role, showing great potential. However, the therapeutic response rate of combined drugs varies greatly, and it may be accompanied by serious side effects while improving the therapeutic effect. Therefore, in order to use these treatments with good application prospects safely, effectively and widely, more research is needed. It is remarkable that immunoPET imaging is a useful tool for the development and the clinical transformation of combination therapy. The authors introduce several specific biomarkers that can be used to target immune activation, outline the recent progress of immunoPET imaging in exploration of cancer combination therapy, and discuss the development of such imaging methods in both preclinical research and clinical practice in the future.
