نظرة عامة

العلاج الحَيوي للسرطان هو نوع من العلاج يعتمد على الجهاز المناعي للقضاء على خلايا السرطان.

يمكن أن يعالج العلاج الحيوي أنواعًا كثيرة من السرطان. ويمكنه أن يمنع أو يبطئ من نمو الورم وأن يمنع انتشار السرطان. وعندما ينتقل السرطان إلى أجزاء أخرى، يُطلق عليه اسم السرطان النقيلي. ويسبب العلاج الحيوي للسرطان عادةً آثارًا جانبية سامة أقل مما تسببه طرق علاج السرطان الأخرى.

لماذا يتم ذلك؟

Biological therapy for cancer is a treatment that helps the body's immune system kill cancer cells. The goal of biological therapy for cancer is to get the immune system to find and kill cancer cells. Biological therapy can help treat many kinds of cancers.

المخاطر

Risks of biological therapy for cancer may depend on the type of treatment you receive. There are many kinds of biological therapy treatments for cancer. The goal of all of these treatments is to help the body's immune system kill the cancer.

Flu-like symptoms are a common side effect of biological therapy for cancer. These symptoms might include:

  • Chills.
  • Feeling very tired.
  • Fever.
  • Headache.
  • Joint and muscle pain.
  • Nausea and vomiting.

Rarely, biological therapy for cancer can cause the immune system to attack healthy tissue. This can lead to swelling and irritation of the affected organs.

ما يمكن أن تتوقعه

What you can expect during biological therapy for cancer depends on the type of treatment you receive. Biological therapy for cancer helps the body's immune system kill cancer cells.

In general, biological therapies work by:

  • Getting the immune system to attack cancer cells. There are several ways biological therapy treatments can do this. One way is putting chemicals that get the immune system working into the body. Another is training a sample of immune system cells from a person in a lab to attack cancer cells, then putting them back into that person's body.
  • Making cancer cells easier for the immune system to find. Biological therapy also can target the cancer cells, turning on or off cell signals that help cancer cells hide from the immune system. For example, medicines called immune checkpoint inhibitors can target certain receptors on the surface of the cancer cells. The inhibitors block the signals the cancer cells send to keep the immune system from finding them.

Many different biological therapy treatments exist, including:

  • Adoptive T-cell therapy.
  • Bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy, also called BCG therapy.
  • Cancer vaccines.
  • Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy.
  • Cytokine therapy.
  • Immune checkpoint inhibitors and modulators.
  • Immunoconjugates.
  • Immunotherapy.
  • Monoclonal antibodies.
  • Targeted therapy.
  • Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy.

Some types of biological therapy are used only in clinical trials. That means they still are being studied. Biological therapy for cancer is an active area of cancer research.

النتائج

The results of biological therapy for cancer may take time. Ask your healthcare team when you can expect to know the results. You might have imaging tests or other tests to see if the cancer is shrinking.
