概括
头癌的放射治疗增加了抗氧化剂活性,可能降低了治疗的有效性. 在治疗期间血清抗氧化能力较高可能会预测头部和部状细胞癌患者的治疗结果较差.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 辐射瘤学 辐射瘤学
- 癌症生物学 癌症生物学
背景情况:
- 放射治疗 (RT) 是治疗头部和部状细胞癌 (HNSCC) 的首要治疗方法.
- 患者对RT的反应有所不同,可能是由于抗氧化机制抵消RT诱导的氧化损伤.
- 由RT产生的反应性氧物种 (ROS) 对其治疗效果至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 调查局部和全身抗氧化剂对RT诱导的ROS反应之间的关系.
- 确定这些抗氧化剂反应是否与HNSCC.治疗成功相关.
主要方法:
- 在RT前后,癌细胞和患者瘤活检中的核红素因子2相关因子2 (NRF2) 的免疫光染色.
- 在RT期间,对HNSCC细胞*in vitro*和患者血清中总抗氧化能力 (TAC) 的分析.
主要成果:
- 在RT之后,NRF2表达和TAC在HNSCC细胞中增加 *in vitro* .
- 患者瘤中NRF2表达也增加,与RT期间血清TAC升高相关.
- 在RT期间血清TAC升高与局部瘤控制降低有关.
结论:
- RT诱导NRF2表达,并提高TAC的调节,这可能会降低RT诱导的ROS的疗效.
- 在RT期间血清TAC水平可以作为HNSCC患者治疗结果的预测生物标志物.

Cancer Therapies

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Tumor Immunotherapy
526
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.
