Ovarian cancer immunotherapy: non-standard solution — non-standard respons

Abstract

Ovarian cancer is a serious problem in clinical oncology due to the frequent detection of the disease in late stages, as well as the extremely low effectiveness of treatment at the stage of development of resistance to platinum drugs. The use of immunotherapy in this setting is not a standard option, but several early phase trials of its potential effectiveness are described in the literature. This clinical case presents a successful experience with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in a pretreated patient with platinum-resistant metastatic ovarian cancer, which was accompanied by various immune-related adverse events.
