胰腺癌肿瘤微环境的研究进展

Research progress in tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer

  • 摘要: 胰腺癌是一种预后极差的恶性肿瘤。一方面,由于缺少特异性标志物、早期症状不明显,胰腺癌的治疗窗口期较小,一经确诊通常已发展至晚期。另一方面,胰腺解剖位置特殊,手术操作难度大,术后肿瘤复发率高,手术治疗仅适于少数早期患者。胰腺癌肿瘤微环境的特点包括基质丰富、缺氧、血供不足和高度免疫抑制等,传统放化疗很难发挥治疗作用。因此,针对胰腺癌肿瘤微环境寻找新的治疗靶点是极有潜力的研究方向。笔者就胰腺癌肿瘤微环境近年的研究进展进行综述,旨在为胰腺癌的进一步研究与治疗提供参考。

     

    Abstract: Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive malignant tumor with poor prognosis. On the one hand, it has a narrow therapeutic window due to the lack of specific markers and obvious clinical symptoms. Once diagnosed,it has often developed to an advanced stage. On the other hand, located in a vital region of the body, pancreatic operation is difficult and the postoperative recurrence rate is high. Therefore, surgical treatment is only sui-table for a small number of early patients. Pancreatic cancer has a tumor microenvironment with the characteristic of dense stroma, hypoxia, paucity of blood vessels and highly immunosuppression. It is often insensitive to traditional radiation and chemotherapy. Therefore, strategies targeting on tumor microenvironment have a potential prospect. This article reviews the research progress in tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer, in order to provide the references in the further research and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
