Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in various organs. Herein, we present a rare case involving a patient with immunotherapy-related gastritis who developed refractory vomiting and anorexia after treatment with nivolumab for cutaneous malignant melanoma. The patient was treated with oral corticosteroids, but the efficacy was limited. The symptoms improved markedly after treatment with infliximab. With the increasing use of ICIs, the number of reports of gastritis due to irAEs has also increased. Health care providers treating malignancies should be aware of this side effect and know how to diagnose and treat it.
期刊介绍：
This online-only journal publishes original case reports on all types of cancer. In particular, we welcome not only case reports of educational value in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, but also reports on molecularly analyzed cancer cases, including gene mutations, gene fusions, gene expression, and changes in copy number, regardless of their known clinical significance. Assessing the molecular analysis of a tumor usually requires a “cancer conference” in which experts from various fields discuss it. Even if the authors and their respective “cancer conference” were unable to determine the clinical significance of molecular changes at the time of submission and publication, their data may provide evidence that will help the scientific community develop precision medicine solutions in the future. We welcome case reports with reviews of the literature on similar cases, as they are more useful and valuable to readers than are reports of rare cases. International Cancer Conference Journal is the official publication of the Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO).
