<< review queue entry 65987 >> add extra meaning -------------------------------------- Editor: 除了癌症治療外，基因療法還可以用來預防癌症再發。 Further to its application as a cure for cancer, gene therapy can also be used to prevent a cancer's recurrence. 傳統癌症治療上，再發一直是個難解的習題，賴基鳴指出，許多癌症在發現時，癌細胞其實已經經由血液擴散到身體其他部位，因此，即使切除手術做得再完善，幾年後，還是可能在其他部位再發。 Relapse is always a problem in the treatment of cancer. Lai Chi-ming explains that by the time cancer is diagnosed, cancer cells have often spread through the body, and the disease may recur several years later elsewhere in the body, no matter how effective the original surgery was. 以大腸癌為例，約有三分之一的病人開刀治療後可以痊癒，但另外三分之二的人會再發。利用基因檢查，可找到擴散的癌細胞，預測將來可能在什麼部位再發，以基因疫苗早期加以阻擋防治。 Surgery fully cures around one third of colon cancer patients, for example, but the other two thirds suffer some form of relapse. By testing a patient's genes, the spread of cancer cells can be traced, helping doctors to predict where the cancer may recur and enabling them to perform gene vaccination in time. 惡性腦瘤病人開刀三個月後多會再發。 most victims of malignant brain tumor suffer a relapse within three months of the operation. 是否還可以再結合一些什麼其他的治療，以防止或延緩病人再發？ shouldn't there also be other forms of treatment to prevent or delay relapse? |
