Inflammatory arthritis during immune checkpoint inhibitors therapy: case report

Abstract

Nowadays, technological and scientific developments in modern medicine have enabled the emergence of new treatment strategies in the treatment of solid and hematologic malignancies. One group of these developments is, also called cancer immunotheraphy, Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI) thatareused in laterstages of tumors. ICI’s are monoclonal antibodies that allow cancercells to be killed by natural and adaptive immunity, especially T lymphocytes via activation or inhibition of the co-receptors. However, cancer immunotherapy can lead to activation of the immunecells to host’s healthy cells by eliminating self-tolerance, and to start series of immune reactions. Here, we aimed to present a case of inflammatory arthritis during cancer immunotherapy.
