Case Studies

Four cases of ICI-related fulminant myocarditis

Fatal outcomes in three cases, despite aggressive treatment, emphasize the poor prognosis of fulminant myocarditis related to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Rare complication in a patient with seminoma

A patient treated with carboplatin for stage I seminoma developed hematuria and acute kidney injury. It is crucial to recognize this rare but serious complication and start treatment promptly to prevent further kidney damage.

Arrhythmia secondary to abiraterone treatment

A man receiving abiraterone for prostate cancer developed severe hypokalemia, which led to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest. It is important to consider iatrogenic causes in cases of arrhythmia.
