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。593Please respect copyright.PENANA0pJ2hPxiD6
593Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9dq2AmTCO

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。593Please respect copyright.PENANA8BB2JV9C8j

(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。593Please respect copyright.PENANASRb8u1XB19
593Please respect copyright.PENANAtn0kl4gdHL
593Please respect copyright.PENANAJVsDI3mtxD
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。593Please respect copyright.PENANAy2tJSPMmlP
593Please respect copyright.PENANAJKCoTFlbnW
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)。593Please respect copyright.PENANALyktVbyjfl

(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。593Please respect copyright.PENANA46zsowkYyc
593Please respect copyright.PENANAMw6KxNXtAR
593Please respect copyright.PENANAG7TTMYXZ7b
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,593Please respect copyright.PENANAvY4NTQfVu3
因此血液會有癌細胞的DNA。593Please respect copyright.PENANAFcubrA2f2M
593Please respect copyright.PENANAePYCuEOUME
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。593Please respect copyright.PENANAOvXLrQ5a0C
593Please respect copyright.PENANANLTLe3VDLt
在這裡,我們暫稱癌細胞在血液中的DNA為ctDNA,Circulating Tumor DNA。593Please respect copyright.PENANAhRqqS9EtP9

(圖4)圖中為利用阻擋PD1的抗體Pembrolizumab作治療的兩名病人結果。593Please respect copyright.PENANAVO9spPV4Az
593Please respect copyright.PENANAzKatvnLCW5
593Please respect copyright.PENANAsJeX0k3DVU
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。593Please respect copyright.PENANAxu5RLrlXkB
593Please respect copyright.PENANAYbxfPdbgzR
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。593Please respect copyright.PENANAHnNi5HzzS2
593Please respect copyright.PENANAD4DEzefWVB
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。593Please respect copyright.PENANAIQka3JQYxw
593Please respect copyright.PENANA9zBiVj6e2T
593Please respect copyright.PENANAe6disL9CSN
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。593Please respect copyright.PENANASv1HJ6x1Fj
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。593Please respect copyright.PENANAmASTwAjmq5
593Please respect copyright.PENANAkL0OsbTcHU
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。593Please respect copyright.PENANAg2bgV1o2ma
593Please respect copyright.PENANANrPIgcLXJA
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。593Please respect copyright.PENANA0VrDS9jPeP
