概括
免疫检查点抑制剂为复发性头支状细胞癌 (HNSCC) 提供了新的希望,但仅对一小部分患者有益. 目前正在进行研究,以提高免疫治疗的有效性,并确定HNSCC的最佳治疗策略.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 免疫治疗是一种免疫疗法.
- 头部和部癌症研究研究
背景情况:
- 头部和部状细胞癌 (HNSCC) 的管理得到了改善,但对复发性或转移性 (R / M) 疾病的有效治疗仍然有限.
- 免疫检查点抑制剂 (ICI) 是一项重大进展,已被批准用于R/M HNSCC的前线治疗.
- 然而,许多R/M HNSCC患者对当前的ICI没有反应,这突出了关键的未满足需求.
研究的目的:
- 审查HNSCC免疫疗法的临床发展和主要临床试验.
- 探索用于识别最有可能从免疫治疗中受益的患者群体的策略.
- 检查在HNSCC中管理免疫治疗后治疗失败的方法.

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.

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.

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...
