ABSTRACT

Although nivolumab is applied as standard second-line chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer, it induces many immune-related adverse events. A 41-year-old man underwent palliative radiation therapy and chemotherapy for a cStage ⅣA (cT4N0M1b, pancreas) squamous cell lung cancer. He was treated with nivolumab as fourth-line therapy and had a partial response after three cycles of nivolumab. After 32 cycles of nivolumab, he had cough and dyspnea at night or in the early morning. Based on elevated fractional exhaled nitric oxide levels and the clinical course, he was diagnosed with asthma. Fluticasone furoate / vilanterol trifenatate and montelukast were administered, and his respiratory symptoms improved. Remaining alert for asthma may be required during immune checkpoint inhibitor anticancer therapy.
