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」;1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcXstHdaUv
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3LOy2EYhN

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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX7WI16V3J
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeuHvFs4ey
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jMfGpVlDq
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQusBZqKnwF
（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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1HaHqy6cz
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXsd0vwDTO
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnZnxhQnNM
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK80PXnF017
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4cNQuVlxZ
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6wV1YzOST
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDLFDCtpHu
（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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJAJJHhiYa
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp9UrYEEmy
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRzPqnUsyU
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE8YbBdtUT
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpAgj4zLRl
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIdGIFsOnb
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTjXG8jEHD
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUISpK0eiD
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSf9x0Ba42
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc8yoWtk2e
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;1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaoEw6CyYa
相對上，皮膚癌及肺癌的癌細胞較大機會出現PDL1。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d3ASv4CHF
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl5V6eLkcw
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwJmPX3uvE
（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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQhQgkNSwd
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoVEbqcjBt
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINXi9DBTEC
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHENsSsFZL
以下為現今運用在治療中及臨床研究中的抗體整理。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT4GXb8DnP
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmImKGZPCI
阻擋PD1的抗體:1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDVu4Vqt3d
1.Nivolumab (FDA approved)1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup5DkvW5pl
2.Pembrolizumab (FDA approved)1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS1iicAfmO
3.Pidilizumab1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicnvavyErd
4.MEDI-06801889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zkl6ncZNH

5.REGN28101889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0SPxvVQou
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOgaek4w0r
阻擋PDL1的抗體:1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDHjhXVqf1
1.Atezolimumab1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pnDWZOTQu
2.Durvalumab1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn9QipJqjZ
3.Avelumab1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq9ywjHy4r

1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH4jVSgr6m
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCHrIWGT7I
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDnueUdQgy
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbGy2lbbMu
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5UxOE5uBp
（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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ePNzmuyNK
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnLo5dxTBr
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FXPBoHZPD
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqbjhWXyd6
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW4aBPPA21
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGKKw29Zhh
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoUk0r8emo
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEnS3qRQfF
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXHUpVYhmx
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzpv2zjF41
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kel2S0hII
（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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsj1EkSQuR
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYorc6Mrc7
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qh3GaEySD
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44wBhdq7Oc
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI3JwH821k
在這裡，我們可以看得出免疫治療的精髓所在。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8toBMl1x0T
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIGRp1xITP
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUKUAirQF9
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvVIBpiw51
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O7QAZ7XQI
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y1d1wOR5m
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！1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kiElqB8pg
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp3mWf3tOZ
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f9yV5BGU2
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6vMHgvlN6
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnMWd27K5t
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxgMTuJtwh
1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGU8GgaFDR
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。1889Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezqw4FixdX
