Abstract
- The patient was a 67-year-old male undergoing maintenance hemodialysis due to chronic renal failure caused by diabetic nephropathy. A left upper lobe resection was carried out for non-small cell lung cancer of the left upper lobe. It was histologically confirmed as pleomorphic carcinoma pT3N0M0, Stage ⅡB. He suffered a relapse with multiple metastases occurring in both lungs 3 months following surgery. The PD-L1 tumor proportion score(TPS)was 90%, indicating a high level of expression; 200mg of pembrolizumab was administered every 3 weeks on non-dialysis days. Two courses of administration achieved a partial response. A total of 17 courses were administered until discontinuation due to drug-induced lung injury.
