Abstract
Enfortumab vedotin (EV), targeting Nectin-4, is effective in advanced urothelial carcinoma but frequently causes skin toxicities. This study examined the possible contribution of prior immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy and higher EV doses to EV-related skin toxicity (EVST) development. Histopathological findings suggested both direct keratinocyte damage and immune-mediated mechanisms. These insights may improve clinical management of EVST.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dermatology is the official peer-reviewed publication of the Japanese Dermatological Association and the Asian Dermatological Association. The journal aims to provide a forum for the exchange of information about new and significant research in dermatology and to promote the discipline of dermatology in Japan and throughout the world. Research articles are supplemented by reviews, theoretical articles, special features, commentaries, book reviews and proceedings of workshops and conferences.
Preliminary or short reports and letters to the editor of two printed pages or less will be published as soon as possible. Papers in all fields of dermatology will be considered.
