以免疫治療(Immunotherapy)手段醫治癌症，絕對是人類在醫學界踏出的「月球一小步」;1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhdPWzhxqs
2018年的醫學諾貝爾得獎者，亦是因為對免疫治療方面作出了無比重要的貢獻因而獲獎。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY292O73r9j

對比傳統的化療，免疫治療不但不會引起脫髮等副作用，病人的存活率更會比傳統化療的顯著為長，但略為遺憾的是並不是所有人及所有的癌症也能從免疫治療中獲益。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFmvJIYnb5

今次的深入淺出，將會為大家講解免疫治療的原理及解釋箇中的好處。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRIhpxuHR0

（圖1）正常細胞(Normal Cell)進行繁殖的時候，無可避免會出現DNA變異。我們的細胞雖有著完善的機制可即時修正錯誤，但隨著年紀歲數的增長，修正DNA錯誤的效率亦會相對減低，最終造就DNA出現變異。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96V9FtPEOS
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNot9kKwepJ
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvYxOmDjMY
而當細胞DNA出現變異後，我們的免疫細胞T cell會將其視作為外來物，把變異細胞殲滅。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtnJpHWluh
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4GIwDEIqH
可是，若然變異細胞發展出躲避免疫系統的機制，而又累積一定程度的基因變異，便會獲得無驅無束般繁殖的能力，形成腫瘤。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH560UI7NJj
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGbQnpFq0E
（圖2）癌細胞躲避免疫系統機制的方法有很多種，較為常見的是PD1（Programmed cell death protein1)系統。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ZbRdHrBA
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV1D7LV01y
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GeJu7JMUe
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnMAtwv5AV
我們的T cell會依靠癌細胞與別不同的蛋白質（Neoantigen)來作出辨認，並將變異細胞殲滅。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10xDPblVa7
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNN8tPDfmk
但是若果變異細胞的表面產生名為PDL1的蛋白質，它便能夠與T Cell的PD1作出合併，因此觸發一系列的機制，大幅度銳弱T cell殺滅變異細胞的能力，導致T cell再也不能消滅自己。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q7wbd8EnQ
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5zMqIRgA8
形象化的來說，若果癌細胞穿上「我愛警察」的衣服（PDL1)後，擁有PD1警棍的黑警便會立刻手軟，放生癌細胞離開，讓癌細胞繼續任意妄為。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSyiQON83y
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8nEsMbBIA
換句話說，癌細胞只要能夠產生PDL1，就能夠逃避T cell的追捕及殺滅;1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl833Q7dQr
相對上，皮膚癌及肺癌的癌細胞較大機會出現PDL1。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDHaHk1D7v
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxsoS5tDqz
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsQ6uvW5Wn
（圖3）既然了解得到PDL1/PD1的關係，那麼對付的方法顯然變得非常簡單，只要把對應的抗體送到體內，阻截PDL1及PD1合併便可。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNMdafjzQG

以下為現今運用在治療中及臨床研究中的抗體整理。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbP4jQCNvB
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6eiE2O2Gf
阻擋PD1的抗體:1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpW9mUFEGE
1.Nivolumab (FDA approved)1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzav48po410
2.Pembrolizumab (FDA approved)1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0zCRZrVvx
3.Pidilizumab1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRusrGgm6V

阻擋PDL1的抗體:1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRvBSAw77b
1.Atezolimumab1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKd3gQApUG
2.Durvalumab1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOaOdtqDFB
3.Avelumab1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN3ZSmtuiU

1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoUG7iI3LP
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqQcm4mAQh
簡單來說，就是利用抗體來阻截PD1/PDL1，促使癌細胞無法逃避免疫細胞的追捕，被迫接收免疫細胞的制裁。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOAmD1INlU
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2EFCwPrX4
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrChMzbfo1F
（圖4）為突顯Immunotherapy（免疫系統治療）的好處，我們可以找一個Chemotherapy(化療)的例子作出比較。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ATlUB4Xxl
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8dnLGx1bG
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtE5QtBerA
針對癌細胞出現X變異，我們便用上針對X變異的化療藥物醫治。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFst5zffM1
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXUm4acBNz
在初期，此方法可能會有奇效，但是隨著時間推進，沒有死去的話癌細胞便會發展出不同抗藥機制，導致藥物失效。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6D9aeecAK
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VvVlo0bZE
譬如說，X變異變成Y變異，導致只針對X變異的藥物再也沒能針對自己。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGtdnt7QyW
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1oAXYBnz3
又或者，癌細胞會產生蛋白質將藥物帶出細胞外，現今有著不同真實例子顯示出還有各種不同的機制，在這裡不便詳列。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBWgQWA6Wj
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xvbNm4Sv9
（圖5）但是，在免疫系統治療方面來說，無論癌細胞如何變異也好，它們始終亦會被T cell界定為外來之物，成為被殲滅的目標。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifnCIovWuE
甚之乎，越多的變異反而會更容易令T cell被認出為外來之物，更易被成為T cell的目標。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqQprcJ80o
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8GOzMT2CW
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCBdJxpkcT
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvjeQrES2r
在這裡，我們可以看得出免疫治療的精髓所在。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSq9Sf1pRh
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw2fGOwiAH
免疫治療的方針並不是在針對癌細胞自身，而是針對癌細胞逃避免疫系統細胞的機制。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC3rBOpJdq
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IIidd0Vue
在此，我們只是讓免疫系統回復正常運作，糾正它們懂得把癌細胞辨認為外來物，並把外來物消除。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUElesBqCVd
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfyiTV9AFn
這方法根本上沒有額外改動身體的機制，有部份病人可能會出現輕微作嘔感覺，但大部份人士並不會遭受脫髮、食慾不振、手軟腳軟、血球細胞出現問題等等會在化療時候遭受得到的副作用！1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZRQoqrkht
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0pblg5VHU
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA04mzAHMmI
只不過的是，普遍來說一整個免疫治療至少需要美金150,000才能進行，而且若然癌細胞並沒有產生大量PDL1的話，這方法亦不會太過有效。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8GvH2LExB
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXnGgypigl
對此，現時科學家亦研發出不同手段針對這個問題，若然大家對這話題有興趣的話，請正評以及回覆此Post，我會視乎反應寫出下集講解現時免疫治療的最新發展、成果及所面對著的問題。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluPalAj9SE
1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEhMKi0src
希望大家看完這篇文章後，會領略得到免疫治療的原理及與化療手段的根本性分別。1853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXgFeXRUMQ
