Welche Immuntherapien sind heute schon Standard? Und mit welchen Nebenwirkungen muss man bei Immuntherapien rechnen?

Zusammenfassung

Im Vergleich zu früheren Behandlungsstandards (einschl. Chemotherapie, Strahlentherapie und Chirurgie) hat die Immuntherapie bedeutende Verbesserungen für Patienten in Bezug auf Überleben und Lebensqualität gebracht. Immuntherapie ist letztlich eine Art Sammelbegriff für eine Vielzahl unterschiedlichster Therapeutika. Immuntherapeutische Ansätze haben sich fest als ein neuer Pfeiler der Krebsversorgung etabliert, von den neoadjuvanten und adjuvanten Ansätzen bis hin zur metastatischen Phase bei diversen Entitäten. In diesem Review-Artikel heben wir hervor, welche Immuntherapien heutzutage in der onkologischen Versorgung Standard sind, mit einem starken Fokus auf Immuncheckpoint-Inhibitoren (ICIs), deren Einschränkungen sowie häufig auftretenden Nebenwirkungen.

Abstract

In comparison to earlier treatment standards (including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery), immunotherapy has significantly improved patients’ survival and quality of life. Immunotherapy is ultimately a broad term that encompasses a variety of therapeutics. Immunotherapeutic approaches have firmly established themselves as a new pillar of cancer care, ranging from neoadjuvant and adjuvant strategies to the metastatic phase in various entities. In this review article, we highlight which immunotherapies are currently standard in oncological care, with a strong focus on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), their limitations, and the commonly occurring side effects.
