Abstract
Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is an uncommon but deadly side effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). ICIs are presently an increasingly important therapy option for malignant tumors, but there are limited treatments available for CRS. We present a case of a 72-year-old man who received one cycle of ICI coupled with cisplatin and albumin-binding paclitaxel therapy for a locally advanced right lung adenocarcinoma. Following an abrupt onset of dyspnea, the patient underwent a quick physical examination, blood tests and was diagnosed with CRS. After prompt initiation of glucocorticoid pulse treatment, the symptoms relieved. The case illustrates the management of severe CRS following ICI therapy while highlighting the uncommon and potentially fatal immune-related side effects.
期刊介绍:
Many aspects of the immune system and mechanisms of immunomodulatory therapies remain to be elucidated in order to exploit fully the emerging opportunities. Those involved in the research and clinical applications of immunotherapy are challenged by the huge and intricate volumes of knowledge arising from this fast-evolving field. The journal Immunotherapy offers the scientific community an interdisciplinary forum, providing them with information on the most recent advances of various aspects of immunotherapies, in a concise format to aid navigation of this complex field.
Immunotherapy delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for this vitally important area of research. Unsolicited article proposals are welcomed and authors are required to comply fully with the journal''s Disclosure & Conflict of Interest Policy as well as major publishing guidelines, including ICMJE and GPP3.
