Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a lethal malignant disease with a very low medium survival. Currently, metastatic pancreatic cancer poorly responds to conventional treatments and exhibits an acute resistance to most chemotherapy. Few approaches have been shown to be effective for metastatic pancreatic cancer treatment. Novel therapeutic approaches to treat patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma are in great demand. Last decades, immunotherapies have been evaluated in clinical trials and received great success in many types of cancers. However, it has very limited success in treating pancreatic cancer. As pancreatic cancer poorly responds to many single immunotherapeutic agents, combination immunotherapy was introduced to improve efficacy. The combination therapies hold great promise for enhancing immune responses to achieve better therapeutic effects. This review summarizes the existing and potential combination immunotherapies for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
胰腺导管腺癌是一种致命的恶性疾病,中位生存期非常低。目前,转移性胰腺癌对常规治疗反应不佳,并且对大多数化疗药物表现出急性耐药性。很少有方法被证明对转移性胰腺癌的治疗有效。因此,人们非常需要新的治疗方法来治疗胰腺腺癌患者。过去几十年,免疫疗法已在临床试验中进行了评估,并在许多类型的癌症中取得了巨大成功。然而,它在治疗胰腺癌方面的成功非常有限。由于胰腺癌对许多单一免疫治疗药物反应不佳,因此引入了联合免疫疗法以提高疗效。联合疗法有望增强免疫反应,从而获得更好的治疗效果。本综述总结了用于治疗胰腺癌的现有和潜在的联合免疫疗法。
