Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a malignant tumor with strong invasiveness, low survival rate and lack of effective treatment options. As the only first-line treatment plan for the advanced MPM, combination of pemetrexed and cisplatin chemotherapy have been existing since the last 20 years. Immunotherapy has long been considered as a potential treatment plan for MPM, mainly including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), immunotoxin therapy, anti-cancer vaccine and adoptive T-cell therapy. This review focuses on summarizing the current research status of immune checkpoint inhibitors in MPM, discusses the effect of tumor heterogeneity on ICIs treatment, and describes that the biomarker-oriented immunotherapy is a new vision for the realization of individualized treatment of MPM. .
【中文题目：恶性胸膜间皮瘤免疫检查点抑制剂的 研究进展】 【中文摘要：恶性胸膜间皮瘤（malignant pleural mesothelioma, MPM）是一种侵袭性强、生存率低且缺乏有效治疗选择的恶性肿瘤。培美曲塞联合顺铂作为晚期MPM唯一的一线治疗方案长达20年之久。长期以来，免疫疗法被认为是MPM的一种潜在治疗方法，主要包括免疫检查点抑制剂（immune checkpoint inhibitors, ICIs）、免疫毒素治疗、 抗癌疫苗、过继性细胞治疗等。本篇综述重点总结了MPM中ICIs的研究进展，初步分析了MPM肿瘤异质性对ICIs治疗的影响，描述了以生物标志物为导向的免疫治疗是实现MPM个体化治疗的新愿景。 】 【中文关键词：恶性胸膜间皮瘤；免疫治疗；免疫检查点抑制剂；肿瘤异质性；生物标志物】.
