Expression of P-glycoprotein before treatment may predict the success or failure of therapy for nonlocalized neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma may be a promising tumor to treat with anticancer drug therapy combined with a chemosensitizing agent capable of reversing P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance.
Immunotherapy begins to be widely used due to the increasing exploration and gratifying effects in multiple cancers. Chordoma, as a rare bone malignant tumor, often recurs and metastasizes after undergoing surgery and radiotherapy. Therefore, immunotherapy can be explored as an emerging, potentially effective treatment to improve the survival rate and clinical benefit of patients. However, a variety of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) cannot be avoided completely. And the immunotherapy-induced myocarditis, as a rare but fatal irAE, has been increasingly reported. Understanding the mechanism involved in irAEs can inform best practices for side effects management. Here, we firstly reported a case of immune myocarditis and subsequent myasthenia gravis (MG) following anti-PD-1 treatment for chordoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
