A 55-year-old woman with a moderately differentiated cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) of the upper lip experienced initial tumour growth and new lymphadenopathy after starting immunotherapy with Cemiplimab, but achieved complete remission with no adverse events after five infusions. This case underscores the potential of immunotherapy for cSCC in sensitive head and neck areas and illustrates the phenomenon of pseudoprogression, where apparent tumour growth can occur before clinical improvement.
一名55岁女性,患有上唇中度分化的皮肤鳞状细胞癌(cSCC),在开始使用西米普利单抗进行免疫治疗后,肿瘤最初出现生长,并伴有新的淋巴结病,但在五次输注后实现了完全缓解,且无不良事件。该病例强调了免疫疗法在敏感头颈部区域治疗cSCC的潜力,并说明了假进展现象,即在临床改善之前可能会出现明显的肿瘤生长。
