Abstract: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have become a target for pharmacological research in lung cancer. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) such as pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis and endocrinopathies have been well characterized in immune checkpoint inhibitors, but coronary toxicities, like acute coronary syndrome, are poorly described. Herein, we report a possible acute coronary syndrome as immune-related adverse event in a lung cancer patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
