Treatment of advanced melanoma has significantly improved with the advent of checkpoint inhibitor therapy. With the widespread use of these agents, side effects are being increasingly recognized, including immune-related adverse events. We report the onset of adrenal insufficiency in a patient with advanced melanoma who was exposed to two checkpoint inhibitors: ipilimumab and nivolumab. His symptoms initially resolved with steroid replacement but he was unable to be weaned off hormone replacement and required long-term oral hydrocortisone treatment.
随着检查点抑制剂疗法的出现,晚期黑色素瘤的治疗有了显著改善。随着这些药物的广泛使用,副作用越来越受到关注,包括免疫相关不良事件。我们报告了一名晚期黑色素瘤患者在接受两种检查点抑制剂(伊匹单抗和纳武单抗)治疗后发生肾上腺功能不全的情况。他的症状最初通过类固醇替代治疗得到缓解,但无法停用激素替代治疗,需要长期口服氢化可的松治疗。
