Overall, this case report suggests that ICI before colorectal surgery can be effective and potentially a 'watch-and-wait" strategy could be used for cases in which ICI is effective.

Other combination therapies include pembrolizumab (targeting programed cell death protein 1) and axitinib (a VEGFR and PDGFR blocker) or lenvatinib (a multikinase inhibitor). Since the KEYNOTE-426 clinical trial, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitors is now the standard of care for most patients with metastatic renal cell carcinomas and monotherapies are used only in those individuals who cannot receive or tolerate immune checkpoint inhibitors.

This study suggests a significant association between the use of immunotherapy agents and the development of myocarditis and pericarditis. Further studies are necessary to better delineate the mechanism by which these cardiac toxicities occur, establish guidelines for surveillance of its onset, and discover how to suppress the immune-toxicities while retaining anti-tumor effect.
