而這一集我們將講解一道關於檢測阻擋PD1的抗體Pembrolizumab成效的研究。594Please respect copyright.PENANA8gFciwzFBn

關於阻檔PD1的原理及初心,可參閱第一集,其後可直接跳過第二第三集來到第四集本集。594Please respect copyright.PENANAmCVE1bmZz5

(圖2)現今約只有20%的病人能夠從免疫治療中獲取長遠且持續的正面效果。594Please respect copyright.PENANAhmAnnm3Xj7
594Please respect copyright.PENANA0i5nd3b0E2
594Please respect copyright.PENANAttKGZes8AA
其有效的程度實屬可圈可點,如果有方法能夠盡快得知免疫治療沒有預期成效的話,那就可以即時轉用其他治療手段,把握時候嘗試用第二種方法入手打擊癌症。594Please respect copyright.PENANAg94iFzOPIE
594Please respect copyright.PENANAFnCrj1ZUMq
對此,有科學家嘗試量度血液中癌細胞的DNA含量,觀察能否藉此方法預判免疫治療的效果(Ref1)。594Please respect copyright.PENANAMgMeNQqFHT

(圖3)癌細胞DNA之所以會出現在血液中,主要由兩大途徑所成。594Please respect copyright.PENANAY9F6Z4ojgC
594Please respect copyright.PENANA6KoTfRXjlL
594Please respect copyright.PENANAh7Iev0bd6w
1.癌細胞會利用血液循環系統或者淋巴系統轉移到第二個位置,594Please respect copyright.PENANATkgMUGS0gz
因此血液會有癌細胞的DNA。594Please respect copyright.PENANAsQpcsCfvM8
594Please respect copyright.PENANAbo7RKHQkpt
2.癌細胞亦會往外釋出名Exosome的物質,裡頭亦含有癌細胞的DNA。594Please respect copyright.PENANAMbPXTTwRFS
594Please respect copyright.PENANAXieXeVFYNK
在這裡,我們暫稱癌細胞在血液中的DNA為ctDNA,Circulating Tumor DNA。594Please respect copyright.PENANA3UvsTm8Dgn
594Please respect copyright.PENANAt9RZo4JZhp
(圖4)圖中為利用阻擋PD1的抗體Pembrolizumab作治療的兩名病人結果。594Please respect copyright.PENANAktrtzwJmj0
594Please respect copyright.PENANAo0T0SLdadl
594Please respect copyright.PENANAep8SmRlVJu
紅線為電腦斷層掃描觀察癌細胞大小的影像,而黑線為量度癌細胞在血液(ctDNA)的含量,可見黑線(量度ctDNA的含量)能夠更快預判免疫治療結果成效。594Please respect copyright.PENANAKK0kAZYmcd
594Please respect copyright.PENANAp4wFKB2ayv
而且,有另外10名接受免疫治療的病人在初期(服用藥物後6-7星期)錄得ctDNA完全下降,亦同樣能夠比電腦斷層掃描觀察更早一步預判成效。594Please respect copyright.PENANAiDeL3Wbg2V
594Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZNUAe88ra
而研究中有45名免疫治療的病人在初期沒有錄得任何的ctDNA跌幅,癌細胞的體積在其後亦沒有明顯縮細。594Please respect copyright.PENANAeoJptZKtTy
594Please respect copyright.PENANAOSizvqaxv5
594Please respect copyright.PENANA49LIAapbd0
對比含放射性的電腦斷層掃描,量度血液的ctDNA只需抽取病人的血液便可,明顯簡單且快捷。594Please respect copyright.PENANAhxRSjan7Ow
只不過每名病人的ctDNA排組均不一樣,先前需要拿取部份癌細胞組織,才能夠有效設計檢測ctDNA的方針。594Please respect copyright.PENANAtAbgwoS9h1
594Please respect copyright.PENANABTR9o9cMPc
無論如何,若然日後能有研究進一步確立此方法的成效及可信性,定必大可增加對抗癌症的效益。594Please respect copyright.PENANAui0QjCaRvm
594Please respect copyright.PENANAFUbcwGf76f
另一方面,透過檢測血液的DNA來預先得知癌細胞的存在,亦是日後檢驗及預防癌症的主流大方向。594Please respect copyright.PENANAuU7DOMQ1u1
