In recent years, researchers have increasingly considered the possibility of using immunotherapeutic drugs capable of potentiating the effectiveness of cytostatic therapy as part of antitumor treatment of such patients. They draw particular attention to the combination of interferon-γ and recombinant tumor necrosis factor thymosin-α-1, capable of activating an antitumor immune response, stimulating apoptosis of tumor cells, having a direct antiproliferative effect, causing destruction of neoplasm vessels, stimulating necrosis of tumor tissue.</p> <p><bold>DESCRIPTION</bold><bold>:</bold><bold> </bold>The patient with stage IV pancreatic head cancer underwent 13 courses of FOLFIRINOX therapy. Treatment was terminated because of increasing toxicity. According to computed tomography, disease progression was detected. The patient referred to cytokinogenetic therapy. After completion of the fourth treatment course, the partial response was seen on computed tomography scan. The TNFα level and the Karnofsky score both grew during the therapy.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION</bold><bold>:</bold> Cytokinogenetic therapy made it possible to improve the patient’s quality of life, to stabilize his general condition and functional activity, to achieve partial regression of the tumor, and to increase the chances of survival.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование</bold><bold>.</bold> Лечение рака поджелудочной железы представляет значительные трудности в связи с агрессивным течением заболевания и крайне низкой чувствительностью опухоли к стандартной химиотерапии. В последние годы исследователи всё чаще рассматривают возможность применения в составе противоопухолевого лечения таких пациентов иммунотерапевтических рекомбинантных препаратов, способных потенцировать эффективность цитостатической терапии. Особое внимание привлекает комбинация интерферона-γ и фактора некроза опухолей тимозина-α1, способная активировать противоопухолевый иммунный ответ, стимулировать апоптоз опухолевых клеток, оказывать прямое антипролиферативное действие, вызывать деструкцию сосудов новообразования и стимулировать некроз опухолевой ткани.</p> <p><bold>Описание клинического случая.</bold><bold> </bold>Пациент, страдающий IV стадией рака головки поджелудочной железы, прошёл 13 курсов полихимиотерапии по схеме FOLFIRINOX. Лечение было остановлено в связи с нарастанием явлений токсичности. По данным контрольной компьютерной томографии, вскоре после остановки лечения была выявлена прогрессия заболевания. Пациенту было предложено проведение цитокиногенетической терапии. После проведения четырёх курсов лечения по данным компьютерной томографии зарегистрирован частичный ответ. Отмечен рост показателя ФНОα в процессе лечения и повышение показателя индекса Карновского на фоне проводимой терапии.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold><bold> </bold>Проведение цитокиногенетической терапии позволило улучшить качество жизни пациента, стабилизировать его общее состояние, добиться частичной регрессии опухоли и увеличить продолжительность жизни больного.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>pancreatic cancer</kwd><kwd>interferon gamma</kwd><kwd>tumor necrosis factor alpha</kwd><kwd>case report</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>рак поджелудочной железы</kwd><kwd>интерферон гамма</kwd><kwd>фактор некроза опухоли альфа</kwd><kwd>клинический случай</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Siegel RL, Miller KD, Jemal A.
