Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is an uncommon and aggressive neoplasm, with most patients presenting in an advanced stage. Systemic chemotherapy is the limited treatment available but is unsatisfactory, while targeted therapy is still awaiting validation from clinical trials. Given the potential effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the treatment of BTC, this review aims to summarize the evidence-based benefits and predictive biomarkers for using inhibitors of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 (CTLA-4) ligand, or programmed cell death protein-1 and its ligand (PD-1 and PD-L1) as monotherapy or combined with other anti-tumor therapies, while also pointing out certain pitfalls with the use of ICIs which need to be addressed.
胆管癌(BTC)是一种罕见且侵袭性强的肿瘤,大多数患者就诊时已处于晚期。全身化疗是现有的有限治疗手段,但效果不尽人意,而靶向治疗仍有待临床试验验证。鉴于免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)在胆管癌治疗中的潜在作用,本综述旨在总结使用细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关蛋白4(CTLA-4)配体抑制剂、程序性细胞死亡蛋白1及其配体(PD-1和PD-L1)抑制剂作为单药治疗或与其他抗肿瘤疗法联合使用的循证获益及预测生物标志物,同时也指出使用ICI时需要解决的某些问题。
