Abstract

Immune checkpoint blockade therapy provides substantial benefits for subsets of patients with advanced cancer, but its utility for cancer prevention is unknown. Lynch syndrome (MIM 120435) is characterized by defective DNA mismatch repair and predisposition to multiple cancers. A variant of Lynch syndrome, Muir-Torre syndrome (MIM 158320), is characterized by frequent gastrointestinal tumors and hyperplastic or neoplastic skin tumors. We report the case of a man with Muir-Torre syndrome who had 136 cutaneous or visceral hyperplastic or neoplastic lesions over a period of 19 years (mean 7.5 neoplasms/year, range 2-26) prior to receiving pembrolizumab immunotherapy as part of multi-modality treatment for invasive bladder cancer. He not only had a complete response of the bladder cancer, but also was noted to have an absence of new cancers during a 22-month follow-up period. This case adds to the rationale for exploring the utility of immune checkpoint blockade for cancer prevention, particularly for patients with DNA repair deficits.

摘要

免疫检查点阻断疗法为部分晚期癌症患者提供了显著的益处,但它在癌症预防方面的应用尚不清楚。林奇综合征(MIM 120435)的特征是 DNA 错配修复缺陷和多种癌症易感性。林奇综合征的一种变体,即 Muir-Torre 综合征(MIM 158320)的特征是频繁的胃肠道肿瘤和增生性或肿瘤性皮肤肿瘤。我们报告了一例 Muir-Torre 综合征患者的病例,他在接受 pembrolizumab 免疫治疗作为浸润性膀胱癌多模式治疗的一部分之前,19 年内出现了 136 个皮肤或内脏增生性或肿瘤性病变(平均每年 7.5 个肿瘤,范围为 2-26)。他不仅对膀胱癌完全缓解,而且在 22 个月的随访期间没有发现新的癌症。该病例为探索免疫检查点阻断在癌症预防中的应用提供了更多依据,特别是对 DNA 修复缺陷的患者。
