What is the response to lung cancer immunotherapy?

Lung cancer patients may experience anorexia, skin itching, thyroid dysfunction and other reactions after using immune drugs. If there are adverse reactions, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid adverse consequences.

1. Anorexia:

Lung cancer may be caused by lung tissue lesions due to air pollution, long-term smoking, ionizing radiation and other factors. Using immune drugs to treat lung cancer can accelerate the death of tumor cells. Commonly used drugs include pembrolizumab injection, atezolizumab injection, durvalumab injection, etc. After using the drug, the gastrointestinal mucosa may be damaged, causing symptoms such as abdominal distension and anorexia.

2. Skin itching:

The side effects of immune drugs are damage to normal cells and certain toxicity to the skin. Patients may also experience symptoms such as skin itching and rash.

3. Abnormal thyroid function:

It may also have adverse effects on the endocrine system, such as abnormal thyroid function, adrenal function, etc.

There may also be reactions such as general fatigue, edema, headache, joint pain, etc. During the illness, patients should maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with doctors for effective treatment.
