他很激动，连声说要感谢我救了他的命。仔细一问，原来3年前，他还不到50岁就得了晚期肺癌，诊断 时已经全身多处转移，脑部也有两个很大的肿瘤。老家县城医生一看，说生命最多还剩6个月。但很 巧，一位朋友知道他生病后，买了我的科普书送给他，从书里他第一次知道PD—1抑制剂，这是一种肿 瘤免疫新药，他试用后直到我们见面时，已经实现了临床治愈。 《癌症天敌：免疫治疗的突破与希望》：李治中著；清 华大学出版社出版。 几年前，我在上海做癌症科普讲座，能容纳100人的场子，挤进来200多人。活动开始前，一位大哥突然 冲过来，抱着我就开始哭，我赶紧问："怎么了？" （作者为中国抗癌协会肿瘤防治科普专业委员会委员） 他用的PD—1抑制剂，属于"免疫检查点抑制剂"药物。现在PD—1抑制剂在国内早已上市，而且有超过 10家公司的产品。从延长晚期癌症患者生存期的角度，这应该是效果最好的抗癌药物，它最大的特点就 是持续性，一旦对患者有效，就可能一直有效，这点远比以前的药物好。免疫疗法是现在最重要的肿瘤 治疗方式之一，但又是最复杂、种类最多的疗法之一，一般人很难搞懂。 《 人民日报 》（ 2025年06月04日 20 版） 我写这本《癌症天 ...
