概括
免疫检查点抑制剂 (ICI) 可以引起与免疫相关的不良事件 (irAEs). 尸体解剖研究显示,心肌炎和肌底炎等irrAEs的诊断不足显著,一些死亡直接与ICI治疗有关.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 病理学 病理学 病理学
背景情况:
- 免疫检查点抑制剂 (ICI) 已经改变了癌症治疗,但可以引起与免疫相关的不良事件 (irAEs).
- 之前的研究缺乏全面的尸检数据,以充分了解irAEs的系统效应和病理学.
研究的目的:
- 通过全身解剖来确定ICI相关炎症变化的频率,器官分布,形态和临床相关性.
- 评估与尸检发现相比,临床上怀疑的irrAEs的诊断准确性.
主要方法:
- 在2011年1月至2024年3月期间,从2011年1月至2024年3月期间接受ICI治疗的患者进行了42次全身解剖的回顾性分析.
- 评价器官分布,炎症变化的形态和与临床数据的相关性.
主要成果:
- 超过一半的患者 (54.8%) 在至少一个器官中表现出irrAEs.
- 最常见的irrAEs包括低血清炎 (28.6%),心肌炎 (19.0%),肝炎 (14.3%),肺炎 (11.9%),上腺炎 (11.9%).
- 与ICI相关的心肌炎是最常见的死亡原因 (71.4%的ICI相关死亡),通常在临床上没有怀疑 (62.5%). 脑炎只有在尸检时才被发现.
- 死于irAEs的患者显示了较高的完全瘤回归率 (P = .018).
- 肌心炎和肺炎与全身性irrAEs有关.
结论:
- 尸体解剖研究对于理解ICI相关毒性的全谱至关重要.
- 观察到对irAEs的显著低诊断,特别是心肌炎,低炎和脑炎.
- 尸检仍然是监测ICI诊断准确性和治疗副作用的宝贵工具.

Myocarditis is inflammation of the myocardium, which is the muscular layer of the heart.EtiologyMyocarditis has a diverse etiology, including a wide range of infectious and non-infectious causes:Infectious CausesViral: Common viruses include Coxsackie A and B, adenovirus, parvovirus B19, enteroviruses, and influenza A.Bacterial: Examples include infections caused by Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Mycoplasma species.Rickettsial: Infections like Rocky Mountain spotted fever can result in...

Chronic Inflammation: Introduction
41
Chronic inflammation is a prolonged, dysregulated immune response that persists for weeks to years when the inciting stimulus is difficult to eradicate or when self‑antigens drive ongoing reactivity. Morphologically, it is defined by mononuclear cell infiltration, progressive tissue destruction, and concurrent attempts at healing via angiogenesis and fibrosis. Compared with acute inflammation, edema is less prominent while cellular infiltration predominates; triggers include persistent...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Crohn's Disease

Crohn’s disease is a chronic, relapsing form of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by segmental, transmural inflammation that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Its pathogenesis arises from a combination of genetic susceptibility, environmental exposures, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and immune dysregulation. Together, these factors lead to an exaggerated immune response against components of the gut microbiome.Genetic and Environmental InfluencesMultiple genetic...
