Chronic inflammation in the tumour microenvironment (TME) via Th2-polarisation promotes melanoma progression and metastasis, making it a target for immunotherapy. Interleukin (IL)-4 is considered essential for Th2-polarisation in the TME; however, its source remains unknown. Basophils have been postulated as one of its sources.

- The updated guidelines introduce five new treatments and emphasize the importance of evaluating research and weighing the pros and cons of various medical options to enhance patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Psoriasis, a complicated skin condition linked to inflammation, has unclear connections between its severity, related cytokine levels, and heart disease risk.
- This study aimed to identify serum markers to help monitor cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in psoriasis patients by examining relationships between cytokines and coronary artery health.
- Key findings highlight that specific cytokines (IL-17A, IL-19, IL-36) correlate with psoriasis severity, while markers like CD31 and resistin show promise for tracking coronary atherosclerosis progression, particularly in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in various organs. Herein, we present a rare case involving a patient with immunotherapy-related gastritis who developed refractory vomiting and anorexia after treatment with nivolumab for cutaneous malignant melanoma. The patient was treated with oral corticosteroids, but the efficacy was limited.
