Abstract
Over the last years, several new drugs have been launched for the treatment of cancer. Immune checkpoint blockade suppresses intrinsic down-regulators of immunity, such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte Antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and Programmed Cell Death 1 (PD-1) or its ligand, Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1). Immune checkpoint blockade enhances patient´s immune system and increased survival rates for different cancer subtypes. However, immune checkpoint blockade can lead to autoimmunity with a multitude of side effects that involve the heart, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine glands, skin, CNS and liver. We here present the case of a patient who was admitted to the emergency department with stroke- like symptoms. Whilst monitoring on stroke- unit was o... view more»
