Science 2015 Conclusies • Immuuntherapie van kanker is een revolutie in de behandeling van deze aandoening • Immuunstimulatie door inhibitie van immunologische checkpoint eiwitten zorgt voor klinische effecten en soms langdurige remissies (wellicht soms curatie) bij vele soorten van kanker • Behandeling kan gepaard gaan met auto-immuunachtige bijwerkingen (tgv onderdrukking van perifere tolerantie) • Vele nieuwe combinatiebehandelingen zijn in ontwikkeling • Behandeling met adoptieve celtherapie ivv genetisch veranderde T cellen is eveneens een doorbraak bij vnl hematologische maligniteiten (zogenaamde CAR-T cellen).
