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。579Please respect copyright.PENANABkn1RjpSRK

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。579Please respect copyright.PENANAUVdKS5VYyE

(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。579Please respect copyright.PENANAE0SdUFIwKG
579Please respect copyright.PENANAXgDpaGQ0mQ
579Please respect copyright.PENANAPESytHW5v1
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。579Please respect copyright.PENANAXsRuOUuLY8
579Please respect copyright.PENANAz8GWWOhRgS
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)。579Please respect copyright.PENANAiqfLSXYg9V

(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。579Please respect copyright.PENANA1DtXRXzFK2
579Please respect copyright.PENANA4D0EJqdYrY
579Please respect copyright.PENANA051ARhOp3a
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,579Please respect copyright.PENANAshgGOX3uYt
因此血液會有癌細胞的DNA。579Please respect copyright.PENANADukucsrhvI
579Please respect copyright.PENANA2g6PZBoqBI
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。579Please respect copyright.PENANAfLdH6vwzXU
579Please respect copyright.PENANAqrggq6XBbe
在這裡,我們暫稱癌細胞在血液中的DNA為ctDNA,Circulating Tumor DNA。579Please respect copyright.PENANAAFN4qhMI1L

(圖4)圖中為利用阻擋PD1的抗體Pembrolizumab作治療的兩名病人結果。579Please respect copyright.PENANAuySav7G1od

579Please respect copyright.PENANAJEfZAJFbQe
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。579Please respect copyright.PENANAAVY52vZDt4
579Please respect copyright.PENANA4br3g1bdWE
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。579Please respect copyright.PENANABAuhyCyJIe
579Please respect copyright.PENANA65ONw5fTD1
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。579Please respect copyright.PENANA8OOnlZrAlD
579Please respect copyright.PENANAlbOlOKNf3J
579Please respect copyright.PENANA5PvQtVVPC1
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。579Please respect copyright.PENANALR3m7CqAT4
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。579Please respect copyright.PENANAxqsPhKRv62
579Please respect copyright.PENANAAkqTtJMExl
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。579Please respect copyright.PENANAwpbtftbJnb
579Please respect copyright.PENANApFX4aTAaU2
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。579Please respect copyright.PENANAVGPsyccc9P
