Autoimmune rhabdomyolysis and a multiorgan display of PD-1 inhibitor induced immune related adverse events during treatment of metastatic melanoma
2019
Background
Programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are among the immunotherapies that have revolutionized our approach to treating several cancers. These novel agents act by blocking PD-1 receptor/PD-1 ligand interactions that would otherwise allow tumor cells to evade host immune destruction by inhibiting response of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. They are overall well tolerated, though they have been associated with a constellation of immune mediated adverse events (irAEs).
