Recall of reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation (RCCEP) induced by stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in a patient with lung squamous cell carcinoma.

Camrelizumab (SHR-1210) is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody that has been shown to inhibit the binding of PD-1 to PD-L1, thereby blocking the immune escape of various types of cancer, including lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation (RCCEP) is the most common adverse event in camrelizumab-treated patients. Here, we introduce a case of LSCC with recall RCCEP induced by stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). A 76-year-old LSCC patient developed RCCEP when he received camrelizumab and chemotherapy. After discontinuing camrelizumab treatment, the RCCEP lesions spontaneously regressed and fell off. However, when the patient received subsequent SBRT, the RCCEP occurred again at the same sites. This case may provide clues for additional study of the immune reactivation effect of SBRT or the underlying mechanism of RCCEP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
