Immunotherapy directed at the programmed cell death-1 receptor (PD-1) or its ligand PD-L1 has demonstrated efficacy in some malignancies, such as metastatic melanoma and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Compared with cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiotherapy or molecular targeted agent, it is an innovative way to treat malignancies with durable clinical responses and manageable adverse. We present a case of female patient with squamous cell carcinoma of thymus involving multiple lung metastases, who was successfully treated with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, pembrolizumab.
针对程序性细胞死亡蛋白1受体(PD-1)或其配体PD-L1的免疫疗法已在某些恶性肿瘤中显示出疗效,如转移性黑色素瘤和非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)。与细胞毒性化疗、放疗或分子靶向药物相比,它是一种治疗恶性肿瘤的创新方法,具有持久的临床反应和可控的不良反应。我们报告一例患有胸腺鳞状细胞癌并伴有多发肺转移的女性患者,该患者通过抗PD-1单克隆抗体帕博利珠单抗成功治愈。
