RESUMEN
El cáncer cervicouterino (CaCu) invasor se mantiene como un gran problema de salud pública en las mujeres de todo el mundo. Para mejorar el control de la enfermedad se requieren nuevas estrategias terapéuticas adyuvantes. Los avances en inmunología, genómica y proteómica han permitido entender las bases celulares y moleculares de muchos cánceres. El CaCu es uno de los modelos tumorales biológicos cuya iniciación y promoción se relacionan con la infección persistente por virus del papiloma humano (VPH) oncogénicos. Durante la infección viral y el desarrollo de lesiones preinvasoras o invasoras asociadas, los VPH coexpresan proteínas estructurales y no estructurales. Estas proteínas “tempranas” o “tardías” son el blanco antigénico de la respuesta inmune. Los ensayos para estimular la respuesta inmune humoral o celular anti-VPH son el objetivo de la inmunoprevención y de la inmunoterapia contra el CaCu. Recientemente en un ensayo clínico controlado tipo III de vacunación profiláctica contra la infección cervical por VPH 16, en el que se emplearon partículas semejantes a virus de la proteína de la cápside L1, se demostró protección contra la infección específica y contra las lesiones precancerosas asociadas. Aunque los resultados preliminares de los ensayos clínicos de inmunoterapia contra CaCu no han provocado efecto clínico, ocasionalmente han demostrado incremento en la respuesta de los linfocitos contra los VPH. En un ensayo reciente con células dendríticas pulsadas con la oncoproteína E7 de VPH 18 como adyuvante, hubo remisión temporal de la enfermedad y mejoramiento de la calidad de vida en una paciente con CaCu metastásico. Nuevos y diferentes ensayos clínicos de vacunación profiláctica contra la infección por VPH están siendo aplicados, lo cual es esperanzador. El éxito en los ensayos clínicos de inmunoterapia anti-VPH en pacientes con CaCu está menos cercano. En el presente artículo se revisan las bases científicas del desarrollo de las vacunas profilácticas y terapéuticas contra la infección persistente por VPH y contra las lesiones cervicales preinvasoras e invasoras asociadas, así como los principales resultados de los ensayos clínicos de vacunación profiláctica y de inmunomo-
dulación terapéutica en CaCu.
