Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab, have significantly improved cancer patient outcome. Toxicities are usually moderate and manageable. However, some adverse events, if not early recognised, could be life-threatening. We report a patient with non-small cell lung cancer who received treatment with pembrolizumab and developed multiple immune-related adverse events both during and after completing treatment, including rash, pericarditis, colitis and myasthenia gravis. © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2019.
