CARDIONCOLOGY.ORG ABSTRACT:
Given the potentially fatal consequence of cardiovascular toxicity due to immunotherapy in this study researchers retrospectively analyzed a group of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to look for the presence of pericardial effusion before and after treatment with either nivoumab or pembrolizumab.
Their findings confirmed that pericardial effusion is a frequent toxicity in patients with metastack NSCLC receving immunotherapy.
