Melanoma patient response to nivolumab treatment for metastatic lung lesions: Multi-OMICS analysis in Project HOPE.
Journal of Dermatology 2017 October
A 70-year-old woman was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma of the occipital skin which was resected; however, multiple lung metastases were detected. Nivolumab therapy was initiated and partial response was obtained. However, the patient was diagnosed with grade 2 interstitial pneumonitis. Prednisolone administration was initiated and the interstitial pneumonitis shadow disappeared. However, then a right rib metastasis was noticed and given radiation therapy. After progressive disease was obtained, the metastatic lesion was resected, and no relapse occurred until skeletal muscle metastasis was found. According to whole-exome sequencing and gene expression profiling, the rib and skeletal muscle metastatic lesions showed an upregulated expression of programmed death-ligand 1 mRNA and a high single-nucleotide variant (SNV) number. The current melanoma case is representative of a patient who responded to nivolumab therapy, and showed typical immunological markers for responders such as high PD-L1 expression and high SNV.
