Immunotherapy elicits strong anti-tumor responses for intracranial metastasis and may lead to intracranial necrosis. However, the mechanisms and management strategies need further investigation.
The emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has reshaped the landscape of advanced lung cancer treatment. The brain is the most common metastatic site for lung cancer. Whether conventional criteria can evaluate the intracranial response of ICIs remains unclear. Here, we report a well-documented case of intracranial necrosis confirmed by post-operative pathology after only one cycle of chemo-immunotherapy without any radiation therapy, which suggests that immunotherapy elicits strong anti-tumor responses for intracranial metastasis and promotes intracranial necrosis, resulting in a temporary increase in size of the target lesions. Still, the specific mechanisms and management strategies need to be further explored.
