Integrating conventional mesothelioma therapies with immuno- and gene-therapies

石棉引起的癌症是医学上已知的最具侵袭性的癌症之一。不幸的是，治疗并不是非常有效，这些癌症特别是间皮瘤很少被治愈。由于最近的科学研究表明，包括免疫疗法在内的治疗组合可以有效，即旨在刺激身体抗癌免疫反应攻击癌症的治疗，我们计划开展这项工作，以准确确定哪些组合可能是最有效的，因此最适合在患者身上进行临床试验。

Asbestos-induces cancers are some of the most aggressive cancers know to medicine. Unfortunately, treatments are not very effective and it is unusual for these cancers to be cured, particularly mesothelioma. Because recent scientific studies have suggested that combinations of therapy which include immunotherapy, ie treatments aimed at stimulating the bodies anti-cancer immune responses to attack the cancer, can be effective, we plan to develop this work in order to determine exactly which combinations are likely to be the most effective and therefore the most suitable for clinical trial in patients.
