Abstract

: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is endemic in Southern China and Southeast Asia. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) represents a unique etiological culprit in the poorly differentiated nonkeratinizing and undifferentiated subtypes. EBV antigens are expressed on tumor cells albeit in a restricted manner. Treatment options for recurrent or metastatic disease are limited. Nevertheless, emerging data from immunotherapy studies in NPC have shed light into their potential antitumor efficacy. : This article reviews existing clinical evidence for different immunotherapeutic approaches for NPC, including adoptive cellular therapy, therapeutic cancer vaccines, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. : There is a growing understanding on EBV virology and the immune evasion mechanisms in NPC. Immunotherapeutic strategies leveraging these properties have shown encouraging efficacy and safety results in early-phase clinical studies. Moving forward, areas to be addressed include appropriate patient selection, optimal incorporation into standard treatment paradigms, biomarker identification, as well as the development of scalable and reproducible immune product generation processes.

摘要

鼻咽癌(NPC)在华南和东南亚地区流行。EB 病毒(EBV)是低分化非角化型和未分化型 NPC 的独特病因。EBV 抗原在肿瘤细胞上表达,尽管表达方式受限。复发性或转移性疾病的治疗选择有限。然而,NPC 免疫治疗研究的新数据揭示了它们潜在的抗肿瘤疗效。本文综述了 NPC 不同免疫治疗方法的现有临床证据,包括过继细胞治疗、治疗性癌症疫苗和免疫检查点抑制剂。人们对 EBV 病毒学和 NPC 中的免疫逃逸机制有了更深入的了解。利用这些特性的免疫治疗策略在早期临床研究中显示出令人鼓舞的疗效和安全性结果。未来需要解决的领域包括合适的患者选择、将其最佳纳入标准治疗模式、生物标志物鉴定以及可扩展和可重复的免疫产品生成过程的开发。
