Immunotherapy has become a new paradigm in oncology, improving outcomes for several types of cancer. However, there are some aspects about its management that remain uncertain. One of the key points that needs better understanding is the interaction between immunotherapy and gut microbiome and how modulation of the microbiome might modify the efficacy of immunotherapy. Consequently, the negative impact of systemic antibiotics and corticosteroids on the efficacy of immunotherapy needs to be clarified.
免疫疗法已成为肿瘤学的新范例,改善了多种癌症的预后。然而,其管理方面仍存在一些不确定因素。需要更好地理解的关键点之一是免疫疗法与肠道微生物组之间的相互作用,以及微生物组的调节如何改变免疫疗法的疗效。因此,需要阐明全身用抗生素和皮质类固醇对免疫疗法疗效的负面影响。
