摘要


肝細胞癌(hepatocellular carcinoma)起因於慢性肝臟疾病。儘管許多有效的防止策略,如抗肝炎病毒治療的發展,但由於非酒精性脂肪肝疾病的盛行,肝細胞癌的發生率仍持續上升。許多晚期肝癌病患超出移植、手術切除、甚至局部治療的標準,而現有的治療選擇也只有效於小部分的病患。然而,癌症免疫治療的興起,帶給這類病人新的治療選擇與機會。免疫檢查點阻斷劑治療法(immune checkpoint blockade therapy)是這類免疫治療中最先蓬勃發展的一類,藉由提升自身免疫反應,來對抗腫瘤細胞。免疫檢查點阻斷劑治療法已經在晚期肝癌病人取得令人驚豔的療效。此類藥物已證實在早期臨床試驗上單獨使用有療效外,後續的合併治療效果也是值得令人期待。
