Article Synopsis
- Paraneoplastic syndromes, like dermatomyositis, can be the first sign of cancer and involve immune responses targeting both cancer and normal cells, often affecting skin and muscle.
- Although these syndromes may improve with traditional cancer treatments, their response to immunotherapy is uncertain since autoimmune conditions are often excluded from trials.
- This report highlights a case of a woman with advanced urothelial cancer and dermatomyositis who received anti-PD1 therapy and developed Stevens-Johnson syndrome, leading to a review of the link between these autoimmune conditions and cancer.
