Abstract
- A 26-year-old male developed narcoleptic-like episodes while on pegylated interferon-alpha 2b (peg-IFN-α2b) therapy for stage IIIB melanoma. Once peg-IFN-α2b was discontinued, the narcoleptic-like episodes eradicated. A case report and review of the literature are presented in this article.<br /> (Copyright© 2017, International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. George J. Delinasios), All rights reserved.)
