The use of immunotherapy in transplant recipients is considered a contraindication because of very high risks for graft loss. The graft loss is to be expected because cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 and programmed death 1 pathways are implicated in graft tolerance. In this case report, we describe a woman with recurrent, disseminated hepatocellular carcinoma who was successfully treated with nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
由于移植受者使用免疫疗法会导致移植物丢失的风险非常高,因此被视为禁忌。鉴于细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关蛋白4和程序性死亡1通路与移植物耐受性有关,移植物丢失是可以预料的。在本病例报告中,我们描述了一名复发性、播散性肝细胞癌女性患者,她接受免疫检查点抑制剂纳武单抗治疗获得成功。
