Abstract
İmmunoterapi, bağışıklık sisteminin güçlendirilmesi ile birçok kanser türünde yanıt, yanıt süresi ve sağkalım açısından etkinliği kanıtlanmış bir tedavidir. Yanıt oranları %20 olup dirençli hastalarda immunoterapi ile sinerjik etki yaratan yeni tedavilere gereksinim vardır. Radyoterapi ile tümör hücrelerinden salınan antijenik uyarı tümörün bağışıklık sistemi tarafından daha kolay tanınmasını sağlayarak immunoterapinin tamamlayıcısı olabilir. Radyoterapinin, ışınlanan hedef dışındaki metastazlar üzerindeki sistemik etkisi “abscopal” etki olarak tanımlanmış olup immuno-radyoterapinin temel amacı “abscopal” etkiyi uyandırmaktır. İmmuno-radyoterapinin yanıt ve sağkalıma anlamlı katkısı öncelikle malign melanom ve akciğer kanserlerinde gösterilmiş olup diğer solid tümörlerde de gelecek vaat eden önemli bir tedavi yöntemi olarak görülmektedir.
Immunotherapy is a treatment proven to be effective in terms of response, duration of response and survival in many types of cancer by strengthening the immune system. The response rates are 20%, and new treatments that produce synergistic effect with immunotherapy are needed in resistant patients. Antigenic stimulation released from tumor cells with radiotherapy can complement immunotherapy by making the tumor more easily recognized by the immune system. The systemic effect of radiotherapy on metastases other than the irradiated target is defined as “abscopal” effect and the main purpose of immuno-radiotherapy is to evoke the “abscopal” effect. The significant contribution of immuno-radiotherapy to response and survival has been shown primarily in malignant melanoma and lung cancers, and is seen as a promising treatment method in other solit tumors as well.
