Abstract
Patients treated with antiprogrammed-death-receptor-1inhibitor (PD-1) often experience immune-related Adverse Events (irAEs). Hereby we report a case of nonbacterial interstitial cystitis in advanced NSCLC patient associated with Pembrolizumab before the ninth cycle started. With the use of immunosuppressive steroids, the symptoms disappeared immediately and then tapered gradually. The symptoms recurrent again when the immunotherapy restarted.
