Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are innovative immunotherapeutic agents used to treat various types of cancer by enhancing T-cell-mediated antitumor activity. These agents have distinct adverse events, known as immune-related adverse events, which can affect multiple organ systems and typically occur within a year after initiating ICI therapy. Another concern regarding ICI therapy is the potential development of T-cell lymphomas due to prolonged activation of T-cell activity. We report the case of a 56-year-old female who was treated with nivolumab for metastatic melanoma for over seven years and subsequently developed concurrent angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and ICI-related cholangitis. This case highlights the importance of careful monitoring for the emergence of late-onset T-cell lymphoma in patients undergoing long-term ICI therapy.
免疫检查点抑制剂(ICIs)是一类创新的免疫治疗药物,通过增强T细胞介导的抗肿瘤活性来治疗各种类型的癌症。这些药物具有独特的不良事件,称为免疫相关不良事件,可影响多个器官系统,通常在开始ICI治疗后一年内发生。关于ICI治疗的另一个问题是,由于T细胞活性的长期激活,可能会发生T细胞淋巴瘤。我们报告了一例56岁女性患者,她接受纳武单抗治疗转移性黑色素瘤超过七年,随后并发血管免疫母细胞性T细胞淋巴瘤和ICI相关的胆管炎。该病例强调了在接受长期ICI治疗的患者中仔细监测迟发性T细胞淋巴瘤出现的重要性。
