A Case of Metastatic Malignant Melanoma Treated with Pembrolizumab

Abstract

Immune targeted therapy of malignant tumor is a major progress of clinical oncology in recent years. Programmed cell death receptor (programmed death receptor 1, PD-1)/apoptosis ligand (programmed death ligand 1, PD-L1) signaling pathway blockers treatment of malignant melanoma achieved good results. We applied in China’s newly listed PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab in the treatment of a patient with metastatic malignant melanoma pulmonary metastasis, and achieved good result, as reported below.
