免疫PET显像:靶向免疫激活探索癌症联合疗法的最新进展

Immuno PET: latest advances in targeting immune activation for exploring combined cancer therapies

  • 摘要: 免疫疗法,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(约10%~30%)对免疫治疗的单一疗法表现出长期反应。联合疗法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很大,提高治疗效果的同时可能伴随严重的副作用。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。令人信服的是,免疫PET显像是开发联合疗法并实现联合疗法临床转化的有益工具。笔者介绍了几种可用于监测免疫激活的特异性生物标志物,概述了免疫PET显像探索癌症联合疗法的最新进展,并探讨了未来该类显像方法在临床前和临床方面的实施方向。

     

    Abstract: The application of immunotherapy (IMT), especially immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), has brought revolutionary breakthroughs to cancer treatment, but only a few patients (about 10% to 30%) have shown a long-term response to the single therapy of immunotherapy. In therapeutic alliance, 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 convincing that Immuno-positron emission tomography (ImmunoPET) is a useful tool for the development and the clinical transformation of therapeutic alliance. The author introduces several specific biomarkers that can be used to monitor immune activation, outline the latest progress of ImmunoPET′s exploration of cancer therapeutic alliance, and discuss the implementation direction of this type of imaging method in preclinical and clinical aspects in the future.
