Abstract:
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) substantially improve prognosis in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. Myositis and myocarditis are very rare, but potentially life threatening, immune-related adverse events associated with ICI therapy. Patients with thymic epithelial tumors are at increased risk for these severe complications. A history of cured thymic epithelial tumors without recurrence seems to be a relevant risk for patients treated with ICIs irrespective of the indication. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
