第三集我們講述增加T cell順利到達癌細胞位置的其中一種手段。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggvzjwI1hQ

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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaIrWmNmMD

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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKBpDReMhN

（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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq03rpua9b

972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTLJhDvbUA
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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA6JKSdrYZ
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW6P1Qa6LO
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)。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5a8y1Hl1G

(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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3wVBjEp2d
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORAefecRXk
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsADhZpuQqB
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，972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKLq9GWpW6
因此血液會有癌細胞的DNA。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUx6q4T3yn
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Ws4M14sj
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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANQqdOMq2O
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2zKPCJGnJ
在這裡，我們暫稱癌細胞在血液中的DNA為ctDNA，Circulating Tumor DNA。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AVdc8vdE9

（圖4）圖中為利用阻擋PD1的抗體Pembrolizumab作治療的兩名病人結果。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU45Cbn6Fd

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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FII0QoS88
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6aRZsgqIB
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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW1F1FXSDl
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27ujhD56eU
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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTod2jZcOz2
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8n0rjMpoH
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbWjvVH7zw
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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBnf63SVd2
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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JmBu8s0bS
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU7DBLTDRa
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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSojqWWlya
972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPXVnUz0qv
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。972Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHLffHvbRd
