Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is a lethal disease. The advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has changed the disease process, yet the majority of patients will develop treatment-resistant disease. IL-2 based immunotherapy in mRCC is the only US FDA-approved treatment with curative results. Immunotherapeutic vaccine approaches to mRCC have been under investigation for several decades with mixed results. The recent FDA-approval of the first cellular immunotherapy in prostate cancer (Provenge(®)) has reinvigorated the search for similar vaccines approaches in mRCC. This review introduces the concepts and different features required for a successful anticancer vaccine approach.
转移性肾细胞癌(mRCC)是一种致命疾病。酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKIs)的出现改变了疾病进程,但大多数患者仍会发展为耐药性疾病。基于白细胞介素-2的免疫疗法是美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准的唯一对mRCC有治愈效果的疗法。针对mRCC的免疫治疗疫苗方法已经研究了几十年,结果不一。最近FDA批准了首款用于前列腺癌的细胞免疫疗法(Provenge(®)),这重新激发了在mRCC中寻找类似疫苗方法的研究热情。本综述介绍了成功的抗癌疫苗方法所需的概念和不同特征。
