Pembrolizumab in Combination with Folfirinox for Treatment of Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma With MSI-H.

ABSTRACT

Pancreatic cancer is one of the four most common causes of cancer-related death in the United States. Our patient had metastatic pancreatic cancer with a high tumour burden. He was trialled on an unconventional treatment of combination immunotherapy and chemotherapy. It resulted in decreased cancer burden and decreased FDG activity on a PET scan. Further studies are needed for standard pancreatic cancer treatment. LEARNING POINTS Very few patients survive pancreatic cancer, especially metastatic disease. Our patient is doing very well after a few years.There is little evidence for concurrent use of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Our patient received it and has had no new lesions, and there has been an improvement on imaging.
